At this time of year, many Calumet County families come together to celebrate the holiday. It’s also the time when many realize their houses are just not quite big enough to host all of their guests and loved ones. Are you one of those Calumet County homeowners dreaming for a bigger area to call home?
You may have enough equity in your current home to move up.
According to the Q3 2019 U.S. Home Equity & Underwater Report by ATTOM Data Solutions,
“14.4 million residential properties in the United States were considered equity rich, meaning that the combined estimated amount of loans secured by those properties was 50 percent or less of their estimated market value.”
This means that 1 in four of the 54 million mortgaged properties in America have at least 50% equity. If these homeowners decide to sell, they can use their equity to use toward the purchase of a new property. Maybe you’ll be one of them.
The National Assocation of Realtors recently posted their 2019 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers showing that,
“This year, home sellers cited that they sold their homes for a median of $60,000 more than they purchased it, up from $55,500 the year prior. This accounted for a 31 percent price gain, up from 29 percent the year before.”
Here’s the equity gain breakdown based on the number of years these sellers lived in their homes:
