1. Create Real Estate Balance Sheet from Scratch in Excel

We know that a real estate balance sheet contains Assets, Liabilities, and Equity. Also, Equity is determined by subtracting Liabilities from Assets. Using this information, we can create a real estate balance sheet from scratch. We need to make 3 sections for each part. Let’s follow the steps below to see how we can make a real estate balance sheet easily.

STEPS:

• First of all, keep a cell at the top that would contain the Company Name.
• After that, we need to create a section for the Assets.
• In Column B, we need to type the asset’s name, and in Columns C & D, we need to insert the value of the assets for different years.
• In the range B7:D13, we will insert the Current Assets.
• For example, cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and so on.

• Now, select Cell C13 and type the formula below:

• Press Enter.

• After that, drag the Fill Handle to the right to Cell D13.

• Using the above steps, we will create a section for the Fixed Assets.
• Building, land, and equipment can be considered Fixed Assets.
• To calculate Total Fixed Assets, we need to use the formula below in Cell C19:

• Press Enter and drag the Fill Handle to Cell D19.

• After inserting Current and Fixed Assets, we will insert Other Assets in the balance sheet in the range B20:D23.
• To calculate the Total Other Assets in Cell 23, we will sum the values using the SUM function:

• In order to calculate the Total Asset, we need to add the Current Asset, Fixed Asset, and Other Assets.
• To do so, we have used the formula below in Cell C25:

• Now, press Enter and drag the Fill Handle to Cell D25 to get the result for the other year.

• After completing the Asset section, we need to create a section for the Liabilities.
• For that purpose, type the Current Liabilities like the picture in the range F7:H13.
• To calculate the total, use the SUM function in Cells G13 & H13.

• Similarly, in range F14:H19, enter the Long-Term Liabilities.
• Also, add them up in Cells G19 & H19.

• In the following step, type the formula below in Cell G21 to get the Total Liabilities:

• Again, hit Enter and drag the Fill Handle to Cell H22 to get the result for the other year.

• To find the Working Capital, subtract Total Current Liabilities from Total Current Assets.
• In Cell C27, we have applied the formula below:

• Finally, to complete the balance sheet, you need to find real estate Equity.
• For that purpose, select Cell G25 and type the formula below:

• Hit Enter.

• Now, if you start inserting values in the worksheet, you will get the results automatically.

• For example, we will create a balance sheet for a company named XYZ for 2017 & 2018.
• You can see the Total Current Asset and Liabilities in the picture below.

• After inserting all the values, we can see the Working Capital and Real Estate Equity for the years 2017 & 2018.
