What is home equity? – Home equity is the difference between the market value of your home versus the remaining balance of your mortgage.
What is a Home Equity Loan?
A home equity loan is a fixed rate, second mortgage that allows homeowner’s access to their real estate equity in one lump amount. Depending on the amount of equity available to the homeowners, a home equity loan could be tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Example:
John and Lucy own a home with a market value of $850,000 and have an outstanding mortgage balance of $350,000.00. At Tembo Financial they allow home equity loans in Ontario to be up to 80% of the homes market value. In this case, John and Lucy could get a home equity loan of up to $330,000.00 which can be used for paying off and consolidating debt, renovating their home or even going on a vacation.
