What you’ll need
- An estimated home value source (rough is fine)
- Your mortgage balance (if applicable)
Step-by-step checklist
- Add (or update) a home asset entry with a reasonable value.
- Confirm the mortgage is included as a liability (so you don’t double-count).
- Pick an update cadence (quarterly is often enough).
- Use the same approach each month so changes are meaningful.
Common pitfalls
- Updating home value too frequently and misreading normal noise.
- Including both the property value and a second “home equity” account.
- Forgetting to include the mortgage liability.
