Answer 1

The second house is worth MUCH more after five years.

Answer 2

Worth of second house is is more in five years.

Explanation:

Cost Price of first house,
`P_1` = $ 154, 300

Rate of appreciation for 1st house,
`R_1` = 4%

Cost Price of Second house,
`P_2` = $ 154, 300

Rate of appreciation for 1st house
`R_2` = 4%

We have to find worth of both houses after 5 years that is T = 5 years

Since, Value of Second house is already greater than first house. Also percentage rate of appreciation is high of second house.

So, After equal Amount of time Worth / value of second house will be greater than first house.

Therefore, Worth of second house is is more in five years.
