How to Build Home Equity Faster

Content

Home equity is one of the greatest financial benefits of homeownership. Here’s how to accelerate it:

1. Make extra principal payments — Even one additional payment a year can cut years off your mortgage.

2. Prioritize value-boosting upgrades — Kitchens, bathrooms, and energy efficiency offer the best returns.

3. Refinance strategically — Lowering your interest rate accelerates equity growth.

4. Avoid over-borrowing against your home — HELOCs and cash-out refinances slow equity gains.

5. Maintain curb appeal — Landscaping and upkeep add long-term value.
