Distressed Homeowner Resource Center Educational Seller Tool

Do I Have Equity?

This tool compares an estimated home value against the mortgage and lien balances you enter, so you can see whether potential equity may exist before a foreclosure or short-sale decision. It is an educational estimate, not a payoff statement, title report, appraisal, tax calculation or legal determination.

Enter Your Numbers

Fill in the amounts you know. Leave unknown items at zero. All figures are estimates you provide.

Your Estimate

The result is a rough arithmetic estimate based only on the numbers you entered.

Estimated Equity Before Sale Costs

$0

Estimated Equity After Entered Obligations

$0

A positive number may indicate potential equity. A negative number means the entered obligations and costs exceed the estimated value, which generally points to a short-sale or other-resolution conversation rather than a traditional closing.

Important

This is an educational estimate, not a payoff statement, title report, appraisal, tax calculation or legal determination. Actual mortgage payoffs, liens, HOA balances, taxes and selling expenses must be verified.

Your Estimate Shows Possible Equity?

Ask Lisa for an actual market analysis before making a foreclosure decision. A real market value, real payoff statements, and a seller net sheet change the picture from an estimate to a plan.
