Summary of Part 2
• Home price recovery and slow debt growth have produced record high in housing wealth, aka home equity
• Tight credit standards and reduction in homeownership, especially for the young, have contributed to a shift in housing wealth toward older, higher credit score borrowers
• Home equity is crucial form of collateral, meaning that young people’s access to low cost credit is affected

III. Home Equity Extraction
29
Trends in home equity extraction
• Two ways to extract equity without moving: cash-out refis andjunior liens
• Home equity extraction was a significant upward force onmortgage balances during the boom, but has been mixed since2010:
– Impact of cash out refinances is boosting balances, but slowly
– Junior lien activity has remained a net-negative force on housingbalances since 2010

Reasons for new HELOCs or cashout refinances
• Piggyback: Originated concurrently with a first mortgage, oftento avoid PMI or to finance a down payment
• Consolidate: Pay off other types of debt balances andconsolidate to more favorable rate
• Spend: Finance a large expense (home renovation, equipmentpurchase, vacation)
• Refi: Refinance existing housing debt to more favorable term orrate

Debt Consolidation
• We study the changes in credit card debt and student debtamong HELOC originators
• Comparing 2006 and 2017 HELOC Originators:
– 2006 originators were primarily levering up, with a small decline inaverage credit card balances, and piggybacks a large share
– 2017 originators’ credit reports show evidence of credit card andstudent loan consolidation

Wrapping Up
• Home prices have recovered, but homeownership has not, especially foryounger Americans, compounded by tight underwriting
• Housing wealth has shifted toward older, more creditworthy borrowers– limiting asset growth and collateral growth
• Equity extraction is relatively low now, considering potential uses to borrowersand high levels of tappable equity– Post-recession tight underwriting and lack of equity have resulted in lower issuance of
collateralized credit to younger borrowers– Older, more credit-worthy borrowers have seen a larger share of recently extracted equity– Equity extraction for credit consolidation is more common recently than in past years
• Home equity is an important form of wealth and access to low-cost borrowing,and we will continue to monitor its behavior
