Americans’ Home Equity Surges to Over $35 Trillion

 


Americans are sitting on more than $35 trillion in home equity after a 75% surge since early 2020 thanks to booming home prices. 

Homeowners often get itchy fingers to tap the equity like a personal ATM, and a rush to do so could pose an inflation risk for the Federal Reserve considering the massive pileup in value. 

But many homeowners today are reluctant to use it as a source of cash.
