Equity Wealth

Arizona is ranked as one of the strongest states that have seen home values increase in the United States.

Many homeowners have grown their equity significantly over the past few years.  At the end of the second quarter of 2020, for example, over a third of U.S. properties with mortgages were considered “equity rich”  which means that the debt on the property was 50% or less of the home’s current market value.  And as we all know, homes values change as the markets change.  Owning real estate is considered a long-term investment and based upon ones' goals, the equity in a home can be a fantastic tool to assist with the overall financial goals that are wanted and/or needed.

Karen shares her thoughts on the subject of home equity in this short video below.

What are your options with the equity wealth you currently have in your home?

• Restructure debt
• Move up or Downsizing your current home
