Experts in real estate use terms when they talk about what’s happening with home prices.

And some of those words sound similar but mean very different things.

To help clarify what’s happening with home prices, here’s a look at a few terms you may hear:

????Appreciation is when home prices increase.

????Depreciation is when home prices decrease.
