How much equity do you have?

To find out how much equity you have in your home, simply subtract the amount you still owe on your mortgage from the current value of your home. For example, if you have a $100,000 balance on your mortgage and the current value of your home is $500,000, your home equity value would be $500,000 – $100,000 = $400,000.

A home equity loan allows you to convert your home’s locked value into capital which can help you meet your financial needs.

Frequently asked questions about home equity loans in Canada

What is a home equity loan?

A home equity loan can get you access to a large amount of money based on the equity in your home.

To calculate how much you can borrow with a home equity loan, simply use this equation:

Present Value of Your Home – The Amount Owing On Your Mortgage = Home Equity

For example:

If you bought a home 20 years ago for $200,000 and have paid $150,000 of your first mortgage, you now only have $50,000 remaining to pay.

Over the 20 years you have owned the home, its value has increased, giving it a present-day value of $750,000. By taking the present-day value and subtracting the amount remaining on your mortgage, you will get your home’s equity.

$750,000 (present-day value) – $50,000 (amount remaining on the initial mortgage) = $700,000

With an Alpine Credits home equity loan, you could have access to up to 75% of your home’s equity within a week.

What can I use a home equity loan for?

You can use a home equity loan for anything. Common uses include debt consolidation (paying off high-interest credit card debt), home improvements, paying for an education expenses/tuition, investments, starting a business or growing an existing business, taking a dream vacation or providing you with additional cash flow for any temporary situation that may arise. You can also use a home equity loan to pay for medical emergencies or as a business investment to buy another piece of property.

How do I calculate the equity in my home?

Use the following equation to calculate how much home equity you have.

Current value of your home – Amount outstanding on your mortgage = Home Equity

First, calculate how much home equity you have. Once you’ve determined your home’s equity, you could have access to a portion of that equity within a week from Alpine Credits.

What is a second mortgage?

A second mortgage may also be known as a home equity loan. The mortgage you obtained when you purchased your home is your first mortgage and a subsequent mortgage or, home equity loan would be a second mortgage.

Second or third mortgages can be used to consolidate outstanding debt from other sources, renovate your home, pay for your child’s education, start or finance a business or, be used for any reason you see fit.

Can I get a home equity loan if I am self-employed?

Typically, we can approve a home equity loan application within 24 hours regardless of your credit, age or income history.

Why should I consider refinancing my existing mortgage?

There are numerous reasons why borrowers may choose to refinance the loans they already have. Some of these include:

  1. Lowering the monthly payment
  2. Lowering the interest rate
  3. Switching from a variable rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage or vice-versa
  4. To refinance for a higher amount in order to pay off other debts or get cash
  5. To change the remaining term of the loan
  6. An existing lender may choose not to renew the existing loan, and a new lender is needed.
