Use the equity in your home and enjoy predictable monthly payments.
With a Fixed-Rate Home Equity Loan from Palisades Credit Union, you can tap into the home equity you've worked so hard to accrue. You'll also appreciate the ease of making fixed monthly payments. When you already have a large expense in mind, a Home Equity Loan may be a better option than a Home Equity Line of Credit. Borrow only what you need and repay the loan on a budget-friendly schedule of predictable monthly payments. Our Fixed-Rate Home Equity Loans allow homeowners to use their available equity to help finance home improvements, pay college tuition, consolidate higher interest debt, or to refinance existing higher-rate mortgages. Have something else in mind? That's fine, too.
Fixed Rate Home Equity Features:
- Fixed Rate over the life of the loan.
- Refinance existing Mortgages / Home Equity Loans.
- Set up account activity notifications through Online Banking.
- Available on properties in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.
- Possible tax advantages. Consult with your tax advisor to determine eligibility.
How do Home Equity Loans Work?
You can think of your home equity loan as a second mortgage. The application process will be similar to your experience applying for an original mortgage. There will also be closing costs, a predetermined loan term, fixed interest rate, and predictable monthly payments. These are the primary similarities between a mortgage loan and a home equity loan.
How much can I borrow with a Home Equity Loan?
Your total home equity can be calculated by subtracting your primary mortgage balance from the current value of your house (as determined through an appraisal). Generally, you will be able to borrow a certain percentage of your total available equity. It's good to leave some of it untouched so that you don't end up "underwater" (when you owe more for the house than it is currently worth). A Palisades Credit Union Loan Officer can help you assess the maximum amount you may be able to borrow.
