The Average Homeowner Gained More Than $55K in Equity over the Past Year

 
If you're a current homeowner, you should know your net worth just got a big boost. It comes in the form of rising home equity. Today, you're building that equity far faster than you may expect – and this gain is great news for you.
 
Here's how it happened. Boca Raton home values are on the rise thanks to low housing supply and high buyer demand. Basically, there aren't enough homes available to meet this high buyer interest, so bidding wars are driving home prices up. When you own a home in Boca Raton, the rising prices mean your home is worth more in today's market. And as home values climb, your equity does too. As Dr. Frank Nothaft, Chief Economist at CoreLogic, explains:
 
"Home prices rose 18% during 2021 in the CoreLogic Home Price Index, the largest annual gain recorded in its 45-year history, generating a big increase in home equity wealth."
The latest Homeowner Equity Insights from CoreLogic shed light on just how much rising home values have boosted homeowner equity. According to that report, the average Florida homeowner's equity has grown by $76,000 over the last 12 months.

How Rising Equity Impacts You

In addition to building your overall net worth, equity can also help you achieve other goals like buying your next home. In a market where you're gaining so much equity, it may be just what you need to cover a large portion – if not all – of the down payment on your next home. So, if you've been holding off on selling and worried about being priced out of your next home because of today's home price appreciation, rest assured your equity can help fuel your move.

Equity can be a real game-changer if you're planning to make a move. To find out just how much equity you have in your home and how you can use it to fuel your next purchase, let's connect so you can get a professional equity assessment report on your house.
