Answer 1

So this is how divorce attorneys figure out their cases, j/k If I tell you you cannot load this into your palm pilot for your exam ok ?
1- 90,400 is value
2- Keeps everything even
3- mortgage is lowered by 3,526 each own 1,763 buydown
4 - Loan raised to 148K Y receives 49,700
5 - cost basis raised to 175,730 X receives 27,730
6- - mortgage is bought down to 145,888 each own 14,921 buydown
7- Loan raised back to 182K each receive 18,056
8 - Since no figures given will assume was interest only loan

The equity difference is meaningless as there is no return on equity until it is converted into cash.

270K Sale Price
182K Less Loan Bal
88K End Equity

90,400 start
270 finish
179,600 total performance / 2
89,800 minus X previous draws of 27,730 = 62,070 to X

89,800 minus Y Previous draws of 49,700 = 40,100 to Y

Answer 2

since y benefited to the tune of 49700 originally and then x benefited only 27730 it seems to me that y still owes x approximately 22000-30 of unrealized appreciation to the benefit of x before they split the balance of the appreciation equally. If equity is 88000 x should pay y 88000-21970 divided by 2 or 33915.Y should pay X 33915 +21970 for a total of 55885.
