Do I need to pay zakat on my assets if they are less than the value of my house?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Recently, I have bought a house present valued $250,000 from Islamic bank in Australia. I have to pay say $1500/month for 30years. I have some cash in bank say $40,000 in abroad. We have some gold as well. The total value in bank and gold is less then 250,000(house value) need to pay. Should I have to pay jakah? if yes on which amount?

Respected questioner.

You will have to give Zakaat upon the amount of wealth you possess at the end of each year, as is the case normally with Zakaat, there is no difference.[1] [2]
