Building equity is one of the biggest benefits of being a homeowner. Your home becomes a valuable asset you can use down the road when you build equity.

In a way, home equity is similar to a savings account. Your equity will build with each house payment you make (building up the value of your asset), just like building the value of your savings account by making deposits into your bank account. If you make your home payments on time and in full, you’ll slowly build equity. But if you’re hoping to build home equity faster, you can either increase your property value or decrease your mortgage debt. 3 ways you can do that is by:

1️⃣ MAKE A BIG DOWN PAYMENT/PAY MORE ON YOUR MORTGAGE: Depending on your loan options, you could put as little as 3% down on a home - but putting more money down instantly boosts your equity. If this isn’t an option for you, you may want to consider paying more on your mortgage. You’ll be making your regular home payments already, but making extra payments will help you to build equity at a faster pace by decreasing the overall total you owe. You can do this by...

▫️Adding one extra payment to your mortgage each year by switching to biweekly mortgage payments
▫️Checking your budget each month and decide how much extra you can put towards your mortgage
▫️Using extra money to add to your mortgage - cash gifts, tax refunds, extra savings, bonuses, etc.

2️⃣ REFINANCE TO A SHORTER LOAN TERM: A shorter loan term definitely has its benefits. Choosing a 15 year mortgage will help you to build more equity every month than a 30 year mortgage. You can also refinance into a shorter term-loan if you already have a mortgage. That being said, payments are higher on a short term loan, so be sure to keep that in mind and evaluate your financial situation before making that decision.

3️⃣ INCREASE THE PROPERTY VALUE: Making home improvements can help to boost your home’s equity by increasing the value. Before diving into remodels, be sure to talk with a real estate professional to figure out which renovations will be the most beneficial to raise your property value.

When buying a new-build home, you may have the question, “should I use a realtor?” and the answer is YES! Using a trusted real estate agent during the process of building a house will benefit you in many ways. When you don't use an agent, the person representing you will be the builder's agent - and they will always have the builder's best interest in mind, not yours 🙅🏼‍♀️ after all, their job is to get the highest price for the homes that the builder is selling!

When buying new construction, your real estate agent will be able to:

▫️Help you choose the right neighborhood, floor plan, and lot
▫️Negotiate for extra upgrades and amenities
▫️Guide you through the building process
▫️Recommend financing options
▫️Oversee the home inspection
▫️Stand up and advocate for you, every step of the way

And that’s not all! Did you know that working with a realtor as a buyer doesn’t cost you anything? The builder pays agent commissions, which means that it’s free to use a real estate agent during the buying process!

4️⃣ Amount you owe
5️⃣ Credit type

Focus on these factors and analyze what exactly you need to start doing differently - you’ll start to gradually improve your credit!

▫️Making payments on time
▫️Increasing your credit limit
▫️Not opening new credit
▫️Limiting your spending
▫️Lowering your utilization (30% or less is ideal!)
▫️Leaving your accounts open
▫️Paying down your balance

By doing these tasks and repairing your credit score, you’ll be well on your way to purchasing a home!
