Do you realize your home equity can be one of your greatest financial resources?

It's true that as you pay down your mortgage, you build equity (the amount of your home you actually own).

This equity becomes a valuable asset you can leverage to help you meet other financial needs.

The Power of Appreciation

Since 1991, home values have increased an average of 3.6% each year, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) House Price Index (HPI). Just in the past year, home prices went up an average of 6.9% across the country.

Instead of making your heater work overtime, here are ways you can reduce your energy consumption and still keep your home warm and toasty this winter.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), heating accounts for 45% of energy use in homes and pumps out 292 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions each year. The more CO2 we release into the atmosphere, the more we hinder the earth’s ability to maintain balance, which has a variety of negative implications. That’s why, the less energy you use to heat your home, the better it is for Mother Nature (and your wallet!).
