A mixed week for home equity rates. The $30,000 home equity line of credit fell two basis points to 7.43%, according to Bankrate’s national survey of lenders. Meanwhile, the five-year $30,000 home equity loan rose two basis points to 8.12%, its highest level this year.
As HELOC rates become more affordable, Brandon Schneider, founder and financial planner at Deliberate Wealth, an independent, fee-only financial planning firm, highlights some of their benefits. “If you’re a disciplined financial person, it’s kind of like a Swiss army knife, as opposed to the home equity loan, where you can use the money when you want to,” he says. “You can use it multiple times depending on where you’re getting it from. You can probably create a fixed structure inside of the actual variable rate product.”
