Green or red shows the gain or loss against everything you paid (price plus buying costs of €5,260). In the typical scenario the buying costs are covered after about 1.4 years. Before mortgage interest, running costs and selling costs.

These are scenarios based on past national prices, not a forecast or a price for any home. Prices can fall as well as rise, past changes don't predict future ones, and your area can differ a lot from the national average.
