Cos'è Capitale immobiliare (home equity)?

Il capitale immobiliare è la differenza fra il valore di mercato attuale dell'immobile e il debito residuo del mutuo – la quota dell'abitazione effettivamente posseduta dal proprietario.

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.

Formula
Home Equity = Current Market Value − Outstanding Mortgage Balance
Esempio

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.

Down payment is the initial cash; home equity grows over time through amortisation and appreciation.

Yes — if property values fall faster than the loan amortises, equity shrinks and can even go negative (underwater).

How is home equity calculated?+

Current market value minus the total of all liens on the property.
