How a HELOC Can Help
Understanding HELOC and Home Equity
A home’s equity is the difference between its current market value and the remaining mortgage balance. As property values rise and mortgage balances decrease, equity builds, creating a valuable financial resource. A HELOC works like a credit card secured against this equity, allowing you to borrow and repay funds repeatedly up to an approved credit limit.
Greenlight Capital Canada’s HELOC product provides flexible terms from 1 to 5 years, with rates starting at 8.49% and no annual renewal fees. The HELOC can serve as a primary or secondary borrowing position on your property and can include multiple properties in Ontario, making it a versatile option for many homeowners.
Why Tap Your Home’s Equity Before Fall?
Fall is an ideal season to utilize a HELOC for several reasons. The season ushers in cooler weather, perfect for certain home improvement projects like energy efficiency upgrades, roof repairs, and indoor renovations. Additionally, with back-to-school expenses or holiday preparations on the horizon, having accessible funds can ease financial strain.
Projects such as upgrading insulation, installing energy-efficient windows, HVAC system improvements, kitchen remodels, and finishing basements are often undertaken in fall to increase home comfort and value. A HELOC provides the flexible funds to manage these projects without tapping into savings or relying on higher-interest loans.
