Equity in real estate reached an all-time high by the end of Q2 2019, according to CoreLogic’s most recent Home Equity Insights Report. Since Q2 2018, the average borrower gained some $5,000 in home equity and, according to CoreLogic’s most recent Home Price Index forecast, continued gains in house pricing, and therefore home equity gains, are ahead.
Borrower equity began rising to all-time highs during the first half of 2019 and has more than doubled since the beginning of the housing recovery. CoreLogic predicts that these home equity gains, coupled with low interest rates, will be used on home improvements and/or household balance sheet improvements so that homeowners can consolidate their debts.
