Your home's equity is a powerful tool

As you make your mortgage payment every month, your equity increases. If the value of your home goes up due to the real estate market, your equity also increases.

You can use the equity in your home to fund a variety of improvements—not just around the house. Use a home equity loan (HELoan) or home equity line of credit (HELOC) for:

  • Home renovations
  • Finishing your yard
  • Debt consolidation
  • Educational costs
  • Medical expenses
  • And, more!

Frequently asked questions

Home equity refers to the difference between what you owe on a mortgage and what your home is currently worth. To determine the amount of equity you have, subtract the balance of your mortgage from the current value of your home.

A loan is a lump sum of money paid over a fixed amount of time. A line of credit allows you to draw, repay, and draw again as you need funds.

Depending on the exact terms of your loan, you may be able to convert some or all of your variable-rate balance to a fixed-rate option.
