The Home Equity Opportunity Is Back. Can Your Operations Keep Up?
Home equity is making a strong comeback—homeowners tapped into $47 billion in equity in Q1 2026, the highest level we’ve seen since 2021. Many are leveraging second liens and HELOCs to unlock the value in their homes. After decades in construction and over 30 years as a Realtor here in Sun Valley, I’ve seen firsthand how shifting markets like this create new possibilities for homeowners. What’s interesting is how much the process still relies on manual steps, slowing things down for lenders and borrowers alike. Embracing automation could reduce processing times by 77%, making the whole experience smoother and more efficient—something I always strive for in every transaction. The right approach can truly make a difference when you’re looking to access your home’s potential.
