The report shows that U.S. <a href=\"homeowners-moving-frequently-20-cities\/\">homeowners with mortgages<\/a> (which account for roughly 63 percent of all properties) have seen their equity increase by 12.3 percent year over year, representing a gain of nearly $981 billion since the second quarter of 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the average homeowner gained $16,200 in home equity between the second quarter of 2017 and the second quarter of 2018. While home equity grew in almost every state in the nation, western states experienced the most significant increases. California homeowners gained an average of approximately $48,800 in home equity, and Washington homeowners experienced an average increase of approximately $41,100 in home equity (Figure 1).<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corelogic.com\/news\/corelogic-reports-home-equity-gains-topped-1-trillion-in-the-first-quarter-of-2018.aspx?WT.mc_id=pbw_180920_oWTBW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the first quarter of 2018<\/a> to the second quarter of 2018, the total number of mortgaged homes in negative equity decreased 9 percent to 2.2 million homes or 4.3 percent of all mortgaged properties. Year over year, the number of mortgaged properties in negative equity fell 20.1 percent from 2.8 million homes \u2013 or 5.4 percent of all mortgaged properties \u2013 in the second quarter of 2018.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHomeowner properties continued to increase in value this quarter with homeowners gaining an average of $16,200 in home equity wealth,\u201d&nbsp;said Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist for CoreLogic. \u201cWhen aggregated across all homeowners that totals&nbsp;almost&nbsp;$1 trillion in gains in home equity wealth. This wealth gain will support additional consumption spending and home improvement expenditures in coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Negative equity, often referred to as being underwater or upside down, applies to borrowers who owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. Negative equity can occur because of a decline in a home\u2019s value, an increase in mortgage debt or both. Negative equity peaked at 26 percent of mortgaged residential properties in the fourth quarter of 2009, based on the CoreLogic equity data analysis which began in the third quarter of 2009.<\/p>\n<p>The national aggregate value of negative equity was approximately $279.8 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2018. This is down quarter over quarter by approximately $5.5 million, from $285.3 billion in the first quarter of 2018.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNegative equity levels continue to drop across the US with the biggest declines in areas with strong price appreciation,\u201d said Frank Martell, president and CEO of CoreLogic. \u201cFurther, the relatively low level of shadow inventory contributes to the chronic shortage of housing supply and price increases in many markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For ongoing housing trends and data, visit the CoreLogic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corelogic.com\/insights-index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Insights Blog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CoreLogic Reports Strong Economy Boosts Homeowner Equity by About $1 Trillion in the Second Quarter of 2018 \u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The share of properties in negative equity fell to 4.3 percent in the second quarter 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15802,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-1469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CoreLogic Reports Strong Economy Boosts Homeowner Equity by About $1 Trillion in the Second Quarter of 2018<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"CoreLogic, a global property information, analytics and data-enabled solutions provider, today released the Home Equity Report for the second quarter of 2018.
