Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) Rates

WOWA Trusted and Transparent

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) can help you tap into your home equity with the same flexibility as a typical line of credit or credit card and the low interest rates of a secured loan. You can borrow from and make payments to a HELOC at any time, and interest rates on HELOCs are typically much lower than other unsecured alternatives. Check out the latest rates.

HELOC Advantages

Both mortgage refinancing and a home equity line of credit (HELOC) gives you access to your equity, but there are differences in when you can borrow, how much you can borrow, and costs associated with borrowing.

After deducting the current balance of your mortgage and other loans secured by your home, a mortgage refinance allows you to borrow up to 80% of the value of your home. Refinancing gives you a one-time lump-sum cash amount that you can then use for purposes such as debt consolidation or for investing. Interest will immediately start to accrue on this full borrowed amount.

A HELOC allows you to borrow up to 65% of the value of your home. If it is a standalone HELOC, your credit limit will not increase even as you make payments towards the mortgage principal. A HELOC is often bundled with a mortgage, which allows for your credit limit to increase as the mortgage principal is paid down. You will also only pay interest on the amount that you use.

One of its advantages is that you can lock-in a rate for your HELOC to protect yourself from interest rate fluctuations. You can also divide your mortgage into fixed-rate and variable-rate portions. For terms and eligibility, talk to your local RBC branch advisor.
