Your home is more than just your most valuable investment – it’s also an important source of borrowing power. Loans secured by home equity have lower interest rates than personal loans and can be used for anything from completing a major home improvement project to paying off high-interest debt or covering emergencies.

Simulação home equity is an important step to take before seeking a loan against your property’s value. Your home’s current market value (determined either by a professional appraisal or estimates available online) is the starting point. Then you subtract the total balance of all the loans secured by your home, including your primary mortgage, to calculate the equity.
