Home equity is the difference between what a homeowner owes on their home and the value of their home. In Bighorn, MT, the average home equity was $118,000 in 2016. This means that homeowners in this zip code had more than 12% of the value of their homes left over after paying off all of their debts and obligations.

While this percentage may not seem like a lot, it can be important for several reasons. First, it can provide homeowners with some financial stability. If they have enough equity in their homes, they may be less likely to need to take on additional debt in order to purchase a new one or to cover unexpected expenses. Second, having a large amount of home equity can help homeowners get better rates on loans or mortgages. Having more money available to borrow means that they will be able to get a higher interest rate on the loan than someone who doesn't have as much equity in their home. Finally, having a large amount of home equity can also make it easier for homeowners to sell their homes if they decide that they want to move somewhere else. Since most homes sell for more than what is owed on them by the homeowner, having more money available will make it easier for them to achieve this goal.

While there are many reasons why homeowners might want or need more home equity, there are also several things that could happen which could reduce or even destroy this asset altogether. For example, if someone's mortgage is paid off but they still owe significant amounts of money on other debts such as credit card bills or student loans, then their overall net worth will be lower than if those debts were all paid off first. Additionally, if someone's house loses value due to poor market conditions (e.g., an increase in interest rates), then they may find themselves with less equity in their home than they originally thought and would need to take action (e.g., refinancing) in order to maintain stability within their financial situation."
