Home Equity Loans Available Again
Banks are again offering home equity loans.

Lenders are expected to make about $36 billion in new home equity loans over the next year, according to Moody’s Economy.com. That’s actually more than the $34 billion in home equity loans made in 2008.

The difference will be the way the money is spent, says Frank Nothaft, chief economist at Freddie Mac. Most of it will go for necessary home improvements. “Consumers are better at managing their own personal balance sheet as a result of the difficult recession we went through,” Nothaft says.
