Equity is the part that YOU own.
Here's an example: You live in a house that is worth $100,000. Your mortgage balance is currently $65,000. That means your equity is $35,000.
Sweat equity means the value of the work you put into the house that increases the value of the house. If you buy bushes and other landscaping for $1000, and do the work to install them yourself, and that increases the house's value to $105,000, you've added $4000 of sweat equity. |

Equity is the amount of the house that you actually own, versus what the bank owns.
So If I bought a $200,000 house, putting down $30,000, I'd have 15% equity or $30,000 equity.
Or another way of thinking of it as a formula is:
Equity = Value of the House - All Debt on the House (ie Mortgage) |

Equity is the difference between what the home is estimated to be worth, and what's owed on the house.
The important thing to remember is that the estimated amount of worth is just that, an estimate. You may not be able to sell for that. |

Equity is the value of the amount of the home that you yourself own, to put it simply.
For example, if you own a house that is valued at $300,000, but you have a mortgage with a balance of $250,000, then your equity is $50,000. |

Home much a home is worth less what is owed on the house.
For example:
$200,000 House Value
$150,000 1st Mortgage
$ 5,000 2nd Mortgage
The above home would have equity of $45,000 ($200,000 - $150,000 - $5,000 = $45,000) |

Equity is the difference between the value of the home and the amount you owe. If the home is worth $100,000 and you owe $25,000 then you have $75,000 equity. |

What your home sells for MINUS all liens/mortgages/debt against your home. http://www.choicerealestate.net/ |

Equity is the simple mathematical difference between what you OWE on the subject property vs its appraised market value. The term is somewhat nebulous, since you cannot determine exact value of equity unless you SELL the property, at which time you will know precisely what your equity was. In the interim, it's an educated guess of equity value. |

equity means that whatever is the difference between what you paid for the house and what your house is worth now...only thing is its...only money on paper until the house is sold... |

Equity is what you have paid on the principle of your home, not the interest. |
