Estimate whether your current home equity can support buying your next home before your current one sells. This helps you understand if you have enough equity for a down payment while maintaining a safety cushion.
Based on your inputs, you may need additional financing (such as a bridge loan, HELOC, or other equity access strategy) to cover the gap between your available equity and your desired down payment. Your actual buying power depends on your credit, income, and program eligibility.
Based on your inputs, your current equity may be sufficient for your desired down payment. This is an educational estimate only. Your actual buying power depends on your credit, income, program eligibility, and how quickly your current home sells.
Note: Estimated equity available for down payment is calculated using a 90% combined loan-to-value (CLTV) limit. Your actual limit may vary based on your credit, income, property type, and program guidelines.
