HELOCs won’t be the problem. Most lenders tightened up a lot on the amount you could pull out of new HELOCs last year. Also, they are only for 10 years. The issue is all of the cash out refinances. Tons of people are pulling a lot of their equity out of their homes and rolling back into a 30 year loan.

How does real estate in the USA compare to the rest of the developed world. And I am no expert, but I am just throwing it out there for thought. My suspicion is that property values here are simply catching up to (or at least trending towards) similar property values in Europe

People are overpaying now so value will be slow to increase.



Also, a home's only value is what someone is willing to pay for it.

I have seen some people in high mortgages get rid of their HELOC by going into a JUMBO loan with better rates. Closed a $750k loan for 2.5%- Cannot beat that right now.

And since credit card rates are so high, some people would be crazy not to refinance and pay off that high interest rates. Especially, if they do not plan to move anytime soon

The yield on the 10 year bond is way up today at 1.747%.
Compare this to just 6 months ago when it was at .67% and you can expect that there will be some tempering of loan activity at least on the lower to middle range homes.

I just did this. Home appraised almost $100,000 over my highest estimation. Was glad to get rid of the HELOC.
