">Home Equity

By The Spy on October 17, 2016
« Back to Glossary Index

This is the total value of a home, less any mortgage(s) owing. Home equity can be calculated by taking the market value of the property and subtracting the remaining mortgage balance. Home equity is built up over time as the property value increases and as the property’s mortgage balance decreases.
