What is home equity and how much do I have?

Home equity is defined as the unencumbered value of the home. Meaning, the price for which your home could be sold on the market today, less any debts registered against the property (e.g. mortgages and secured credit lines).

Here is a basic calculation to help you determine your amount of equity:

Current market value - all debts registered against it = Available Equity

What can I use my equity for?

Here are some advantageous ways to maximize the use of your equity:

  • Buy a vacation home or investment property
  • Pay for your child’s education
  • Renovate
  • Consolidate outstanding debt
  • Take advantage of lower interest rates to save you money

How much of my equity can I use?

You may qualify to refinance up to 80% of the value of your home.

Here are some questions to ask yourself when determining how much equity you should leverage:

  • What is the estimated amount needed to accomplish my goals?
  • Do I have sufficient savings to cover any unforeseen future expenditures?
  • How much can I comfortably afford to pay monthly for my mortgage payment?
  • What is my current interest rate? How far into my current term am I?
  • What are the costs involved to refinance?
