How a Home Equity Loan Works
A Home Equity Loan allows you to borrow a single lump sum based on the equity you’ve built in your home. You’ll repay the loan over a set term with a fixed interest rate, making budgeting simple and predictable from start to finish.
This option is ideal for large, one‑time expenses where you want payment stability and a clear payoff timeline.
Home Equity Loan vs. HELOC: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Home Equity Loan | HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) |
|---|---|---|
| Loan Structure | One‑time lump‑sum loan | Revolving line of credit |
| Interest Rate | Fixed | Variable |
| Best For | Planned, one‑time expenses; debt consolidation | Ongoing or phased expenses |
| Payments | Predictable monthly payments | Interest only on funds used |
| Access to Funds | Single disbursement | Draw funds as needed |
Which is right for you?
- Choose a Home Equity Loan if you want certainty and structure.
- Choose a HELOC if you need flexibility and ongoing access to funds.
Our local lending team can walk you through both options and help you decide with confidence.
