appreciating
Growing in value
Appreciating is recognizing value or quality in something: I'm really appreciating this cool weather.
It can mean growing in value—an investment appreciates over time.
The progressive form often emphasizes ongoing or deepening recognition: The more I learn about jazz, the more I'm appreciating its complexity.
