Qu'est-ce que le/la Capital immobilier (home equity) ?

Le capital immobilier correspond à la différence entre la valeur de marché actuelle du bien et le solde restant de l'hypothèque – la part du logement réellement détenue par le propriétaire.

Home equity grows two ways: paying down the mortgage principal (amortisation) and property appreciation. For most households, home equity is the single largest component of net worth.

Equity can be tapped through a cash-out refinance, a home-equity loan (HEL, lump sum) or a home-equity line of credit (HELOC, revolving). All three add a lien on the home and risk foreclosure if payments stop.

Formule
Home Equity = Current Market Value − Outstanding Mortgage Balance
Exemple

A homeowner whose property is now worth CHF 1.4m, with CHF 800k remaining on the mortgage, holds CHF 600k of home equity — a powerful borrowing base for renovations or investment.
