What Is A Home Equity Sharing Agreement? Original
Most homeowners wouldn’t mind being able to tap their homes for cash from time to time. Home equity loans and lines of credit are common ways to do so. But if those don’t work for you, another option exists: a home equity sharing agreement. Also known as a shared equity agreement or a shared equity finance agreement, it’s an arrangement between multiple parties, typically a homeowner and a professional investor (in fact, “home equity investing” is yet another term for the process).
Why Is There A Housing Shortage In The U.S.? Original
The housing shortage is essentially a problem of supply and demand: There is not enough housing supply to meet the demand of those who want to buy. The pandemic, inflation and elevated interest rates have all contributed to the shortage. New home construction dropped precipitously after the Great Recession, and it has yet to fully recover. The housing shortage is probably not news to anyone who’s looked to buy a home recently.
