What Your Equity Number Means

If You Have Equity

Positive equity means you can potentially sell your home before foreclosure, pay off the mortgage, and walk away with proceeds. This protects both your equity and your credit score. A pre-foreclosure sale is typically the best outcome for homeowners with equity.

If You Are Underwater

Being underwater means your mortgage balance exceeds your home's value. You have options including a short sale, deed in lieu, loan modification, or in some cases bankruptcy.
