Rising consumer debt is eating away at homeowners’ ability to build wealth. It’s time to put your home equity to work and take control of your financial future.
1. The Growing Burden of Non-Housing Debt
Consumer debt has reached staggering levels, with credit card balances alone sitting at $1.17 trillion—up by $65 billion in just one quarter (Q3 2024).
This mounting debt is costly, with average credit card APRs exceeding 20%. Each dollar spent on interest is a dollar that could have gone toward building wealth. Homeowners with significant equity are in a unique position to consolidate high-interest debt and redirect cash flow toward appreciating assets. Imagine paying 6-8% on a HELOC versus 20% on credit cards—it’s a game-changer.
Non-housing debt doesn’t just limit your financial flexibility; it erodes your ability to invest in your future.
2. Why HELOCs and HELOANs Are Ideal in Today’s Mortgage Market
Most homeowners today hold first mortgages with rates below 5%. Refinancing to access equity at today’s higher rates would be financially unwise.
That’s where HELOCs and HELOANs shine. These second-position products allow homeowners to tap into their equity without jeopardizing their low first mortgage rates. For example, a HELOC can help eliminate high-interest credit card debt while preserving your primary mortgage terms.
Leveraging these products ensures smarter access to cash without compromising your overall financial strategy.
3. The Power of Calculating Your Blended Rate
Understanding your blended rate—the combined interest rate of your mortgage and other debts—is key to making informed decisions.
Let’s say you have a $200,000 mortgage at 4% and $50,000 in credit card debt at 20%. Your blended rate is much higher than your mortgage rate alone. Using a HELOC to replace the high-interest debt could significantly lower this rate, improving monthly cash flow and freeing up resources for wealth-building.
Calculating your blended rate shows the true cost of debt and reveals opportunities to optimize your finances.
