Equity in real estate is the portion of a property that you actually own after subtracting any outstanding mortgage balance from the property’s current value. As you pay down your mortgage or the property increases in value, your equity may grow over time.
Understanding home equity can help you evaluate your financial position, borrowing options, and potential proceeds if you decide to sell your property. Factors such as your purchase price, mortgage balance, improvements, and changes in market value can all affect how much equity you have.
