What is home equity?

You have home equity when your home’s value is higher than what you owe on liens, such as a mortgage. If the value of your home is greater than what you owe, you may be able to borrow money using the home as collateral.

Home Equity Loan

Sometimes called a HELOAN, this is a fixed-rate lump sum loan. A home equity loan generally allows you to borrow around 80% to 85% of your home value, minus what is owed on the mortgage. Home equity loans are best if you need one lump sum loan to pay for a large expense, such as major home repair. It’s also best for those who prefer fixed monthly payments.

Home Equity Line of Credit

A home equity line of credit or HELOC, is a loan that uses your home as collateral. Similar to a credit card, your lender determines a maximum loan amount and you can borrow as much as you need up to the loan’s limit.

Flexible

A HELOC provides flexibility by letting you borrow what you need, pay it back, and borrow again.

Variable

HELOCs have variable interest rates, therefore payments over time can be less predictable.
