The Average Homeowner Gained More Than $55K in Equity over the Past Year<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re a current homeowner, you should know your net worth just got a big boost. It comes in the form of rising home equity. Equity is the current value of your home minus what you owe on the loan.<\/strong> Today, you\u2019re building that equity far faster than you may expect \u2013 and this gain is great news for you.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it happened. Home values<\/a> are on the rise thanks to low housing supply<\/a> and high buyer demand<\/a>. Basically, there aren\u2019t enough homes available to meet this high buyer interest<\/a>,\u00a0 so bidding wars are driving home prices<\/a> up. When you own a home, the rising prices mean your home is worth more in today\u2019s market. And as home values climb, your equity does too. As Dr. Frank Nothaft, Chief Economist at CoreLogic<\/em>, explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cHome prices rose 18% during 2021 in the CoreLogic Home Price Index, the largest annual gain recorded in its 45-year history, generating a big increase in home equity wealth.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The latest Homeowner Equity Insights<\/em><\/a> from CoreLogic<\/em> shed light on just how much rising home values have boosted homeowner equity. According to that report, the average homeowner\u2019s equity has grown by $55,300 over the last 12 months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How Rising Equity Impacts You
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In addition to building your overall net worth, equity can also help you achieve other goals like buying your next home. It works like this: when you sell your house, the equity you built up comes back to you in the sale.<\/p>\n

In a market where you\u2019re gaining so much equity, it may be just what you need to cover a large portion \u2013 if not all \u2013 of the down payment<\/a>\u00a0on your next home. So, if you\u2019ve been holding off on selling<\/a>and worried about being priced out of your next home because of today\u2019s home price appreciation, rest assured your equity can help fuel your move.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n
