Many homeowners don’t realize how much equity they’ve built over the years. According to property data analyst Cotality, the average homeowner now has about $302K in equity.

I love helping homeowners understand how that built-in value can be used to fund renovations, plan their next move, or work toward bigger financial goals.

If you’re curious what your home equity could look like, I’m always happy to run the numbers.
