Knowing how much equity you have—and how much you could potentially access—gives you more control over your financial future. It empowers you to make informed choices, whether that means tapping into your equity to meet immediate needs, investing in property improvements, or saving it as a safety net for the future.

How much is your home worth? Here’s how to find out

Understanding your home’s value starts with some simple research. While you could hire a professional appraiser, there are faster and more cost-effective ways to get an estimate:

  1. Online home value estimators
    Many websites, such as Point, Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com, will offer home value estimators. Simply enter your address, and you’ll receive a rough estimate of your home’s worth based on recent sales in your area, property characteristics, and current market trends. While these tools are a great starting point, remember that they may not account for specific improvements or unique features of your home.
  2. Real estate market comparisons
    To refine your estimate, look at recent home sales in your neighborhood. Compare homes with similar sizes, layouts, and features. Keep in mind, however, that market conditions fluctuate, and local factors—such as school districts or upcoming infrastructure projects—can also influence your home’s value. Similar homes may also be in different conditions.
  3. Professional appraisal
    For the most accurate assessment, consider a professional home appraisal. While this option costs more than online tools, it provides a thorough analysis of your home’s value based on both physical inspection and market data. Point can help facilitate getting an appraisal if you are interested in using your home equity to get cash with Point's Home Equity Investment.

Get cash with your Home Equity: Introducing Point’s HEI

Once you have an idea of your home’s value, you may be considering ways to access some of that equity. Traditional options, like home equity loans or lines of credit (HELOCs), require taking on new debt and making monthly payments. However, Point’s Home Equity Investment (HEI) provides a convenient alternative.

What is a Home Equity Investment (HEI)?
With Point’s HEI, you can receive cash for a portion of your home’s equity without a traditional loan or monthly interest payments. Point makes an investment in your home, providing you with a lump sum of cash upfront. You’ll have the flexibility to use this cash as you wish—whether it’s for home improvements, paying off debt, or other financial goals.

How does Point’s HEI work?
In exchange for cash, Point receives a percentage share in the future value of your home. When you sell or refinance, Point’s share is settled based on the appraised value at that time. This structure allows you to access the cash you need without monthly payments, making it a great solution if you want to tap into your home’s value without impacting your family's budget.

The benefits of choosing a Home Equity Investment

Point helps homeowners get up to $500k from their home equity and has several advantages over traditional home equity products:

  • No monthly payments:
    With a Home Equity Investment, you won’t have to worry about additional bills each month, making it easier to budget.
  • Easier qualification:
    Point's HEI has no income requirements, and homeowners can qualify with a credit score above 500.
  • Flexible use of funds:
    Use the funds for any purpose, whether it’s to fund a business, renovate, or even take a dream vacation.

Final thoughts: Check the value of your home and explore your options

Home equity represents the portion of your home that you truly own, and it’s a powerful financial asset. Whether you’ve built equity over time through mortgage payments or your property has appreciated in value, this equity can open doors to financial opportunities. But, to make the most of it, you first need to know your home’s value.

Applying was easy, submitting documents was seamless
"Applying was easy, submitting documents was seamless and as long as you keep up with the dashboard the process goes pretty smooth and quick. We had looked into another company and the only thing I could say is I would have liked to be able to communicate with our advisor more easily and them be more accessible like the other company’s was. They were also going to fund a higher amount, but it would have taken longer. I also didn’t agree with their appraisal as we had one with another company and our home was appraiser for much more. However Point was much quicker. "

Ray explained and consoled me about those issues, and he shared his optimism on how to proceed and overcome my issues.
