What is Equity?

     Equity is the amount of money you have invested in your home. You've heard the term "building equity"? That means you are paying off your financial obligation for your home. For example, if you buy a $100,000 house with a down payment of $20,000, then your equity is $20,000. Equity also builds up as the value of your home increases.
