Five year price appreciation in Virginia homes at 54% - I’ve been in real estate this entire time and I watched it happen and I still can’t really fathom what this means for people long term.

a lot of people were hurt in 08 bc they were given loans they could not afford in the first place, or sold ARM loans which ballooned their payments in later years. The only way to get out of them was to refinance or sell and when neither of those options worked, foreclosure was all that was left.

The equity is really just a number on paper until the home sells or you *pay money* to take out some sort of loan with the house as collateral (like a HELOC). For anyone who bought a home in 2007 if they could stay there, or rent it out, & still afford their mortgage, they weren't in trouble.

HELOC is different than a refinance - I'd see what rates you're getting quoted for the HELOC and decide then

They do really want to buy houses, however the change in lifestyle desires is noticeably going to start coming into play when inventory rises - walkability and community are very important
