Do you hope that your home will continue to keep it's value or even become more valuable?

If so why?

We have always looked at our home as an investment that we can enjoy in the present and that will continue to earn money.
We would like to be assured of being able to meet all bills in our lifetime and leave something for our children.

How about you? Do you hope your home will continue to become more valuable, although it may be your last home?
We have owned 9 homes in our marriage. The house here in The Villages has appreciated the most of any of the homes. We paid $199,900 8 years ago and it is now worth around $260,000. We have enclosed our lanai and put in wood floors. We made just $30,000 on our last house and we lived there 20 years.
