Rising property values can open up refinancing opportunities by increasing your available equity. This can help eliminate high-interest debt and improve monthly cash flow.
Find out how rising values can work in your favour š
1ļøā£ Home values rising = more available equity
Higher property valuations can help homeowners reach the 20% equity threshold faster.
āļø more borrowing room
āļø stronger refinancing options
āļø easier debt consolidation
Market appreciation can increase your equity even when your mortgage balance hasnāt changed.
2ļøā£ Why refinancing can solve consumer-debt stress
Refinancing does not erase debt ā it restructures it at a lower interest rate.

Many homeowners didnāt have enough equity in previous years ā but rising prices have changed that.
