# Properties and assets

> Real estate, vehicles, valuables and other assets you own, with valuations and archiving.

This page shows you how to record in guito the things you own that don't live in a bank account or a brokerage, update their valuation over time, save a private note, and archive what you no longer want to track. The latest valuation of each active asset counts toward your net worth.

The available categories are **Real estate**, **Vehicles**, **Art**, **Collectibles**, **Commodities**, **Jewellery**, **Business**, and **Other**.

## Update an asset's valuation

An asset's value can change over time. Add valuations to track how its estimated value evolves.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Property & valuables page">
    Go to **Property & valuables** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the asset">
    Click the asset you want to update.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the valuation">
    On the asset's detail page, click **Add valuation**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the details">
    * **Date**: the date of the valuation.
    * **Value**: the new estimated value.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Confirm to save.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Valuations are always manual: guito does not fetch market prices for these assets. Only the most recent valuation feeds your net worth, and values in another currency are converted to euros. If you add a valuation on a date that already has one, guito offers to replace it. The full valuation history is kept so you can track how the value changes.
</Note>

## Add notes to an asset

You can save a personal note on an asset, for example to remember a vehicle's plate or an item's serial number.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the asset dialog">
    When you add an asset, or edit an existing one, open its dialog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write the note">
    In the **Notes** field, write what you want to remember.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Confirm. The note shows in the **Notes** section of the asset's page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Link a mortgage

If you bought a property with a loan and also track that loan as a credit in guito, you can link the two. The property's detail page then shows the down payment, the financed amount, and your loan-to-value and equity, so you can see the property's real contribution to your net worth.

## Archive and unarchive assets
