Home Equity Market News - Experts suggest that the housing market is cooling off and the increase in mortgage rates has made borrowers more cautious about tapping the equity they have earned from their home’s appreciation. Mortgage companies are reporting that the “amount borrowers owe on their home equity credit lines has dropped in the last six months, to $561 billion by end of March. This is the 1st decline since 1999, according to new data from Equifax Inc. and Moody's Economy.com Inc. Analysts suggest the decline may have been triggered by the spike in fixed rate home equity loans because the total for home equity borrowing actually rose 9% in the previous year. The average increase for home equity volume has averaged an annual growth rate of 21% over the past five years.
Meanwhile, interest rates for equity loans that feature a fixed interest rate have also increased, but not as much as lines of credit. Home equity loans averages are up to nearly 9% up from 6.75% since the spring of 2004, according to Nationwide Mortgages.net.
 Mortgage lenders are responding to slowing demand for home equity products by increasing their marketing and expanding their loan programs for 2nd mortgages. These banks revealed special offers that promote home improvements and the consolidation of consumer debts.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. is running a television advertising campaign that promotes home equity lending. Bank of America, has launched a "green" home-equity card program, in which the bank will make a $100 donation to environmental group Conservation International on behalf of new home-equity customers who use their equity-line Visa card for purchases of $2,500 or more.
Unfortunately, payment defaults and delinquencies on home equity loans and credit lines also have jumped to 1.29% in the first quarter, according to a recent study by Equifax and Economy.com. That's up from 0.8% a year earlier and the highest level since early 2002. |
