Georgia Homeowners Are Sitting on Record Equity

44% Appreciation Since 2020
Georgia ranks Top 10 in the nation for home price growth — meaning most homeowners who bought before 2022 have built real, accessible wealth.
$102,000 Average Equity Gain
The average homeowner's tappable equity has grown by nearly $102,000 since 2020. With Georgia's median home value around $334,000, most homeowners have real money sitting in their walls.
Cash Rates Beat Credit Cards

What Georgia Homeowners Are Saying
Georgia Cash-Out Refinance FAQ
How does a cash-out refinance work in Georgia?
A cash-out refinance replaces your existing Georgia mortgage with a new loan at a higher balance. The difference is paid to you in cash at closing — one monthly payment, typically at a lower rate than credit cards or personal loans.
How much equity do I need?
For most loan types, you need at least 20% equity remaining after the cash-out — meaning you can borrow up to 80% of your home's current appraised value. Eligible veterans using a VA loan can go up to 100% LTV.
What credit score do I need?
We work with FICO scores as low as 500 — lower than most lenders will consider. Conventional cash-out typically starts at 620. FHA cash-out is accessible down to 500. Better pricing kicks in around 700.
How long does it take?
The national average runs 30 to 45 days. Many of our clients close in as few as 14 days, though every loan is different. Our team drives the process so you're not the one left waiting.
Is a cash-out refinance better than a HELOC?
A cash-out refinance gives you a fixed monthly payment at a lower rate and a lump sum at closing. A HELOC is revolving credit at a variable rate. For a defined goal — debt payoff, renovation, tuition — cash-out is usually the cleaner option.
Does my Georgia cash-out refinance need to close with an attorney?
Yes — Georgia is an attorney state. A licensed Georgia real estate attorney is required to conduct your mortgage closing. This is standard for all mortgage transactions in Georgia and is built into your normal closing process. We work with experienced closing attorneys throughout Georgia and coordinate everything on your behalf.
What can I use the money for?
Anything you want. Georgia homeowners typically use it to pay off credit card debt, fund home improvements, cover education costs, consolidate loans, or build cash reserves. No restrictions.
