Have you checked into your home equity lately? According to an article from the Washington Post<\/em><\/a>, recent changes in the market mean that your equity could be higher than you think!<\/span><\/p>\n

Home equity \u2013 which is defined as the difference between the balance on your mortgage and the market value of your home \u2013 is important for various reasons. Positive equity happens when the market value of your home is higher than the balance of your mortgage, and when you have a lot of high positive equity, you broaden your financial options. <\/span><\/p>\n

For example, it\u2019s easier for homeowners with positive equity to sell their home than homeowners with little or no equity \u2013 who will have a harder time selling without having a lot of cash to bring to the closing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, many Americans have been enjoying positive home equity, according to the Washington Post<\/em><\/a> article. Recent home equity statistics from the article include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

– The Federal Reserve estimates that hold equity holdings nationwide are at $12.5 trillion – which has doubled from 2011 to the final quarter of 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

– About a million people who previously had negative equity crossed into the positive equity territory in 2015, according to estimates from CoreLogic.<\/span><\/p>\n

– If home prices rise another 5% in 2016, home equity should rise significantly for about 850,000 homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been thinking about selling your home, the current favorable home equity conditions could mean it\u2019s the perfect time. And if you\u2019re an active adult looking to sell your current home and buy a new home in a 55+ community in Maryland, The Villages at Two Rivers is your perfect choice!<\/span><\/p>\n
