According to a report by Corelogic, homeowners gained $2.9 trillion in equity during the second quarter. This $2.9 trillion gain equates to a 29.3% year-over-year increase from 2020. The growth in homeowner equity allows for tens of millions of Americans to feel a higher sense of financial cushion and fend off the fears of foreclosure brought about by the uncertainty of the pandemic. As the housing market continues to stay hot, equity in homes should continue to rise also.
