Enter an estimated value and what you owe. This is a planning tool only. A lender appraisal sets the value used for a loan.
Why Value Matters
Lenders use your home's appraised value to decide how much you can borrow. The more equity you have, the more options you may have, including a lower rate or cash out.
Online estimates are a starting point. A professional appraisal sets the number a lender will actually use.
Value minus what you owe. Equity is what you can tap with a cash-out refinance or a HELOC.
Your balance divided by your home's value. Many programs set limits based on this number.
If your value has grown, you may be able to drop mortgage insurance on a conventional loan.
More equity can open better rates, shorter terms or cash out.
