Vacation home purchase horizon in years 15
Current price $                            275,000
Annual price increase 3.00%
Price after 15 years Current price * (1+rate)^time
Price after 15 years 275000 * (1+3%)^15
Price after 15 years                           428,441.04
Future value of annual deposit from year 1 to 5 at T15 should be equal to 428,441.04
Annual return 4%
Calculation of future value factors
Year FV factor at t15= (1+rate)^(15-deposit year)
1 1.73168
2 1.66507
3 1.60103
4 1.53945
5 1.48024
Total 8.01748
Assumed annual deposit P
P*8.01748=                           428,441.04
P= =428441.039/8.01748
P=                             53,438.37
So annual deposit should be 53,438.37
