Home equity is the amount of your home that you own – A.K.A. your home’s estimated market value minus the amount you still owe on your mortgage. You may be able to borrow from the equity you’ve built in your home, so it’s important to keep an eye on your number as it changes. Come find out how much money you could have access to.

We get your home value from a property valuation company. They are a 20-year veteran in the property valuation market and provide this data to lenders for use in the mortgage lending process. They determine the value of your home using automated models. The model considers data points on your home and the local market, such as value of previous and recent home sales, square footage of these sales, as well as known property details of your address, including its known lot size and bed/bath count.
Please note that an AVM is not an Appraisal and is an estimate of value only. The estimated value does not include a physical or visual inspection of the property or its neighborhood and is subject to the intellectual property rights of the property valuation company.
Our vendor’s home value estimate is typically within 10% of the eventual sale price. The accuracy depends on availability and recency of the home’s property data, including square footage, lot size, bed/bath count, and local market conditions. Home value estimates are continuously tested against sale transactions as they happen and improvements to the model accuracy are regularly released. Over the past 20 years, our vendor has built a database of 140,000,000 residential properties and uses data from these properties to predict home values.
Keep in mind these values are only estimates of your home’s current market value and should be used as a starting point. Always hire a professional appraiser or licensed real estate agent to get the most accurate market analysis for your home before buying or selling. Kindly note that the values are estimates and our vendor will not be liable for any claims arising from these estimates.
You currently aren’t able to update your home value shown on Intuit Credit Karma.
We already know your loan term, the date when you got your loan, and your monthly payment. If you shared your interest rate, we’re able to use those three numbers to figure out your remaining balance for previous months.
This estimate assumes that you have not refinanced, made any loan modifications, or changes to your monthly payment. For more info about your mortgage balance, review your mortgage statements and credit report, or contact your mortgage servicer.
