What is Home Equity?
Home Equity is the difference between your home's current market value and the remaining balance on your mortgage(s). Generally an increase in Home Equity comes from paying down your mortgage balance and/or an increase in the market value of your home.
A Home Equity Loan lets you access the equity in your home, after all you earned it.
