Latest HELOC & Home Equity Loan Rates: March 17, 2025
- Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) allow homeowners to tap into the value of their homes.
- A home equity loan is a fixed-rate, lump-sum loan that allows homeowners to borrow up to 85% of their home’s value and pay that amount back in monthly installments. A home equity line of credit is a variable-rate second mortgage that draws on your home’s value as a revolving line of credit.
- Both options use your property as collateral for your payments, which means your lender can seize your property if you can’t repay what you borrow.
- Home equity lines of credit, or HELOCs, are loans that allow you to borrow against your home's equity - the current market value of your home minus your remaining mortgage balance.
