ICE's Q3 2024 Mortgage Monitor Report reveals record-high mortgage holder equity of $17.2T, with $11.2T being 'tappable'. Homeowners withdrew $48B in Q3, marking a two-year high, yet this represents only 0.42% of available equity - less than half the historical 0.92% extraction rate. HELOC rates, which topped 9.5% recently, are expected to decrease to the low 7% range by end of 2025 following Federal Reserve rate cuts. This could reduce monthly payments on a $50K equity withdrawal from $413 to below $300, potentially spurring increased home equity borrowing despite remaining above historical averages.
