Fed: Homeowner Percent Equity Falls to Record Low
The Fed released the Q3 Flow of Funds report today.
Homeowner equity declined by $128 Billion in Q3 as appreciation slowed (why didn't assets decline?) and equity withdrawal was still strong.
Homeowner percent equity fell to a record low of 50.4% (this includes the almost 1/3 of homeowners with no mortgage). I'll have more this afternoon.
