Leveraging Property Equity

Homeowners with significant equity can reduce their payments or reinvest that equity into new properties. Many individuals who purchased properties in recent years are benefiting from low interest rates, which makes selling less appealing during a period of rising rates. With the housing market showing stagnant prices and fewer transactions than previous years, retaining these lower-rate properties could be advantageous. Investors should be aware that market movement may increase if interest rates decline, potentially leading to bidding wars and higher property values.
