Could Your Home Equity Make Your Next Move Possible?
If you’ve been sitting on the fence about moving, now might be the time to take a closer look at your home equity. At Corken + Company, we work with many homeowners who are surprised to learn just how much equity they’ve built—and how that equity can open doors to a new chapter.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, relocating, or just looking for a change, tapping into your home equity can make the difference between staying put and making the move you’ve been dreaming about.
What Is Home Equity and Why Does It Matter?
Home equity is the difference between what your home is worth and what you owe on your mortgage. As property values in the Denver area have continued to appreciate, many homeowners have built substantial equity—often without even realizing it.
If you’ve owned your home for at least a few years, chances are you’ve built up more value than you think. This equity can be used in a number of ways, including:
-
Applying it toward the down payment on your next home
-
Covering moving or renovation costs
-
Reducing the amount you need to borrow, resulting in a more manageable mortgage
How Much Equity Do You Have?
The best way to find out is to request a professional home equity assessment. At Corken + Company, our brokers provide detailed market evaluations so you can see your current value—and what’s possible with the equity you’ve earned.
Many of our clients are shocked to find out that their home is worth significantly more than expected, giving them flexibility to consider options they hadn’t thought were realistic.
Should You Move or Stay Put? Let’s Talk Strategy
If rising interest rates or affordability concerns have made you hesitant to move, your equity could help balance the equation. A strong down payment reduces your monthly mortgage, improves loan terms, and increases your overall purchasing power. In some cases, it could even allow you to buy in cash or avoid mortgage insurance altogether.
Even if you love your current home, it’s worth asking: is it still the right fit? Many homeowners find that lifestyle changes, job shifts, or family needs make moving a smart move—not just financially, but personally.
You Have More Options Than You Think
Using equity doesn’t always mean selling and buying immediately. Some homeowners use a bridge loan to purchase their next home before listing the current one. Others explore renting out their current property for passive income while using equity to buy elsewhere. At Corken + Company, we’ll help you evaluate all the possibilities.
We specialize in strategic planning, not just transactions. Our goal is to help you make smart moves that support your bigger financial and lifestyle goals.
