Holding period return measures the performance of a property investment over a particular holding period.
There are several instances that an investor may want to estimate this investment performance measure. The most common is the case of a property that has been acquired some time ago and the investor estimates periodically the return achieved by the particular investment as a part of the performance monitoring process. In this case, the generic formula for calculating such a return is the following:
RHP = (Vehp – PP – SC + NOIhp) / PP (1)
where:
RHP = Holding period return
PP = Purchase Price
Vehp = Property Value at the end of the holding period
NOIhp = Net Operating Income received over the holding period
In such a case, we may want to annualize the estimated return in which case we can use the formula:
ARHP = (1 + RHP)(1/n) – 1 (2)
Where:
ARHP = Annualized holding period return
n = number of years within holding period
Example
Purchase Price (PP): 200,000
Holding Period (n): 2.5 years
Appraised Value at the end of 2.5 years: 220,000
NOI received over holding period: 35,000
Sales Cost: 5% or 220,000 × 0.05 = 11,000
Therefore, the holding period return can be calculated as:
RHP = (220,000-200,000-11,000+35,000)/200,000
RHP = (220,000-200,000-11,000+35,000)/200,000
RHP = 0.22
Furthermore, we can annualize this performance measure by applying formula (2) as follows:
ARHP = (1 + 0.22)(1/2.5) – 1
ARHP = (1.22)(1/2.5) – 1 = 1.08279 – 1 = 8.3%
