  • ICE Mortgage Monitor: Record Levels Of Tappable Equity, Fed Rate Cuts Could Spur Resurgence In Home Equity Withdrawals

    Date 04/11/2024

    • As of the end of Q3 2024, U.S. mortgage holders held $17.2T in equity, of which $11.2T is ‘tappable,’ meaning it can be borrowed against with the homeowner maintaining a 20% equity stake in their home
    • The average homeowner with a mortgage now has $319K of equity in their home, of which $207K is tappable
    • Though Q3 withdrawals hit a two-year high – both collectively and individually among second lien products ($27B) and cash-out refinances ($21B) – the total represented just 0.42% of available tappable equity
    • Borrowers have been withdrawing equity at less than half the 10-year average 0.92% extraction rate, with second lien products 26% below typical levels and cash-outs 69% below the norm
    • The past 10 quarters have seen half the equity extraction to be expected in a ‘normal’ market, meaning $476B has gone untapped and not flowed back through the broader economy
    • In recent quarters, introductory rates on HELOCs have topped 9.5%, more than doubling the $167 March 2022 monthly interest-only payment needed for a $50K withdrawal to a high of $413 in January 2024
    • Recent Federal Reserve cuts to short-term interest rates – more directly tied to HELOC than 30-year mortgage offerings – have already made equity withdrawals modestly more affordable and attractive
    • If both market expectations for an additional ~1.5 pp in additional Fed cuts and current spreads hold true, we could see HELOC rate offerings in the low 7% range by the end of 2025
    • That would drop the monthly payment needed to withdraw $50K in equity back down below $300; still notably higher than the historical average, but more than 25% below recent highs
