Home Equity and Second Mortgages: What Are They?

Before we explain the most popular equity products in P.E.I., it pays to gain a better understanding of what home equity is and how it relates to second mortgages.

What is Home Equity?

Essentially, the term home equity refers to the difference between the amount outstanding on your primary mortgage and the real estate market value of the property itself. The available equity you have increases with every mortgage payment you make, whenever the property value goes up through renovations/additions, or whenever there’s a real estate boom in your neighborhood.

Do you know how to borrow using your home equity? Find out by reading this.

What Are Second Mortgages?

Second mortgages are called so because the home equity products involved are put in second claim position behind your primary mortgage. While they don’t technically qualify as the same type of loan that a traditional mortgage is, they do involve payments that you make toward your home. In addition, securing a second mortgage requires that you offer up your home as an asset to be used as collateral, which is a common practice with many different loan products, mortgages included. Once you have a certain amount of equity built up (ask your lender how much is required to borrow), you can choose from major credit products, known as “home equity loans” and “home equity lines of credit”, both of which we’ll explain further below.

Second Mortgage Interest Rates

If you’re planning to apply for a second mortgage, it’s important to know that the interest rate for your payments may be fixed or variable (also explained below) and will likely be higher than the one on your primary mortgage. This is due to the fact that your second mortgage lender, who can be your main lender or a secondary source, is taking a greater risk by approving a client who already has a primary mortgage on their home. If the borrower can’t afford both sets of mortgage payments, they may go into default, in which case the secondary lender gets paid after the primary one.

However, you can secure a lower interest rate when you pay off the remaining balance on your mortgage and request that your new home equity product is placed in first claim position, giving you only one payment to cover.

Home Equity Loans and HELOCs: What Are They?

As we mentioned, there are two main credit products that P.E.I. borrowers may choose from when applying for a second mortgage, each of which would more beneficial in certain financial situations.

What is a Home Equity Loan?

The home equity loan functions along the same lines as a regular installment loan. If approved, you’ll be granted a loan worth up to 80% of your available home equity. That loan will be deposited in a lump sum directly into your bank account. Before the deposit arrives, you and your lender will negotiate a payment plan, which involves equally separated installments that are appropriate for your financial profile. The timeframe of your payment plan depends on your lender’s regulations, as well as your gross monthly/yearly income. Generally speaking, however, home equity loan payment periods last 10 years or under. A home equity loan is best used in situations like:

• Consolidating (grouping together and paying off) a large amount of debt all at once, which can be especially beneficial when your debts are spread out through multiple lending sources.
• Covering an unexpected expense or high-cost purchase when you don’t have enough money in your savings or chequing accounts.
• When you’re more comfortable paying equally divided installments at a fixed interest rate.

Interest Rates on Home Equity Loans

While many lenders offer the option of both fixed and variable interest rates for your home equity loan payments, fixed rates are the most common. In this case, you’ll be approved at an interest rate that varies according to the strength of your credit score and income but does not change over the course of your loan term. Fixed rates can sometimes end up being higher than variable rates when the Bank of Canada’s prime lending rate goes down. However, they can be more beneficial for you when you’re trying to budget properly, because you’ll be able to calculate, in advance, exactly how much each loan payment will cost you.

What is a Home Equity Line of Credit?

A HELOC in Prince Edward Island works along the same lines as a credit card or, of course, a traditional line of credit that you would receive at your bank. It comes in the form of revolving credit, meaning you’ll have a specific credit limit that also grows along with the amount of equity you’ve built by the time you apply. You can borrow from that limit when you need, over the course of what can often be a longer payment period than a home equity loan (sometimes up to 20 years if your request it). Whenever you reimburse a full monthly payment, your credit limit resets and you’re free to borrow from it again. HELOCs are best used in situations like:

• Adding value to your home. Since renovations, additions, and general home maintenance can be ongoing for a long time, a revolving line of credit that you can withdraw from whenever you’d like is a good idea.
• Paying for educational costs. Another ongoing expense for a lot of P.E.I borrowers is their education, which can go on for years depending on the length of your degree, especially if student loans are involved.
• When you’d like the option of a minimum monthly balance payment, which will help you avoid the penalties of defaulting.
• When you’re more comfortable paying a variable interest rate only on the amounts you’ve borrowed.

Interest Rates on HELOCs in Prince Edward Island

Unlike a home equity loan, most HELOCs in Prince Edward Island include a variable or “adjustable” interest rate, although fixed rates are sometimes possible. As we said, if your rate is variable, it will fluctuate with the Bank of Canada’s prime rate, making it more expensive than a fixed rate at times. However, if the prime rate drops during your payment period, you could save some money, as you’ll only have to pay interest on what you’ve borrowed, rather than on your scheduled home equity loan payments.
