Home Equities


Your house could hold the key to financing your major plans and big dreams.

What can you do with your home's equity?

The possibilities are endless. You have big goals in mind. Maybe you want to consolidate higher-interest debt into one easy payment at a lower rate. Maybe it's time to start that kitchen remodel you've been dreaming about. Maybe there's a wedding to plan or a special vacation to take. Whatever you're thinking about, your home's equity can turn it into reality. 


A simple application can deliver financial flexibility you need. Using your home's equity as collateral for financing typically helps you save money with a lower interest rate compared to other borrowing options, like unsecured loans. And that makes your money go further. Plus, with Kalsee Credit Union, you can close within one business day in many cases.

 

Closings in as little as 1 business day!


Fixed-Rate Home Equity Loans



When you know exactly how much money you need to borrow, you can receive your funds in a lump sum at a fixed rate. This helps you budget your payments accurately every month because your interest rate never changes. 
 
  • Borrow up to $250,000

  • Terms up to 15 years

  • Must be an owner-occupied residence or second residence (land contracts are ineligible) 

  • An appraisal fee may apply

Variable-Rate Home Equity Lines of Credit



With a HELOC, you can open a flexible line of credit to tap into anytime. You'll pay interest only on the money you use, and as you repay the balance, that money becomes available to you again. Our HELOC features a variable rate that adjusts quarterly. 
 
  • Borrow between $10,000 and $250,000

  • Terms up to 18 years (access money for the first 8 years and take 10 years to pay off your HELOC)

  • No pre-payment penalty, unless you close the HELOC in the first three years

  • Must be an owner-occupied residence or second residence (land contracts are ineligible)

  • An appraisal fee may apply

What is equity?

It's the difference between the value of your home and the amount you owe on your mortgage. The bigger the difference, the more money you can access through equity.

What's the difference between 1st and 2nd lien?

If you currently have a mortgage loan or other home equity loan or line of credit, your new home equity loan would be a second lien on the property. If you don't, your home equity is the first lien.
