Home Equity: A Goldmine for Homeowners!

๐ Written by Krista Klause, Your Trusted San Antonio Realtor ๐
๐ Have you been a homeowner for a few years? Here's something crucial you need to know – Home Equity! ๐
๐ค What's Home Equity? Freddie Mac puts it simply: "๐ ๐ฐ Your home’s equity is the difference between your home's value and your mortgage balance. ๐ฐ๐ "
This means as you pay down your mortgage ๐ and as home values increase ๐, your equity grows! ๐
๐ Last year, home prices slightly dipped, but guess what? They've been on the rise in many areas since then! ๐
๐๏ธ From the Latest Equity Insights Report by Selma Hepp, Chief Economist at CoreLogic: ๐๏ธ "With price gains boosting homeowner wealth, equity hit a new high ๐, recovering from last year's declines. The average U.S. homeowner gained over $20,000 in equity compared to Q3 2022, and some markets see even larger increases!" ๐ต๐
๐ค And that's just one year! Long-term? The average homeowner with a mortgage has over $300,000 in equity. ๐ ๐ธ
