We are given that a house had a value of $245000 and its value was increased by 9%. To determine how much is this value increase in dollars we need to multiply the value of the house by 9/100. We get this:

`245000*(9)/(100)=22050`

Therefore, the increase in dollars is $22050. Now, to determine the current value we need to add the increase to the previous value, we get:

`245000+22050=267050`

Therefore, the current value of the house is $267050.
