Rising home prices over the last few years has helped homeowners gain more equity in their homes. In the third quarter of 2018, homeowners sold for an average of $61,232 more than their original purchase price—the highest average home seller price gain since 2007, according to a newly released report from ATTOM Data Solutions. That marks a 32 percent return on the original purchase price, just shy of the recent peak set in the fourth quarter of 2017 at 32.5 percent.
