Home equity

Home equity is the homeowner’s financial interest in their property, calculated as the difference between the property's current market value and the total outstanding balances of all loans secured by the home.

In the United States, it is a major source of wealth accumulation with the majority of middle class wealth being held in home equity which totals over $35 trillion overall.
