Wouldn't THAT be nice...for you! But in establishing the total of your assets, you have to work with current values. That is what the property is now worth. If you bought stock at $10 a share and it is now worth $20, you certainly aren't going to let your spouse buy out that stock for the original purchase price. The division of joint assets has to be equitable. I had a friend in your situation who had several real estate agents over to appraise his house - trying to get it to appraise out low, so he could get the house cheap. This became such a contention in the divorce proceedings that the judge finally established the value. Unfortunately, the real estate market then took a dive but the buy out price stayed the same. He screwed himself on that one. If you owned the house before you got married, all you would have to split is the increased equity achieved over the time you were married. Hind sight, yes!
