There are a number of factors that affect home equity in a given area. The most important factor is the interest rate on mortgages. If the interest rate on mortgages is high, then homeowners will have to pay a higher percentage of their income towards their mortgage payments. This will reduce their available money to spend on other things, such as buying additional property or investing in stocks or bonds.

Another important factor affecting home equity is inflation. Over time, inflation will cause the value of homes to rise faster than the amount that homeowners are able to pay off their mortgages with each month. This can lead to homeowners having more debt relative to their assets than they would like – an undesirable situation known as “negative equity”.

Finally, there are also local market conditions that can affect home equity values in a given area. For example, if there are a lot of new homes being built in an area – either because developers are building new homes or because people who own homes are selling them – then the prices for those homes may be higher than average and this may push up home equity values in that area. Conversely, if there are fewer new homes being built and existing homeowners want to sell but can't find buyers at reasonable prices (due to low demand), then home equity values may be lower than average in that area.
