There are a number of factors that can affect home prices and home equity rates. Some of these include interest rates, inflation, market conditions, and local government policies. Generally speaking, when interest rates are low or when there is an economic recession, prices for homes tend to go down because people are less likely to be able to afford to buy a house or they are more likely to default on their mortgage payments. In contrast, when interest rates are high or when there is an economic boom period, prices for homes tend to go up because people have more money available to purchase a house or they can borrow money against their home equity at a lower interest rate.

Another factor that can affect home prices and home equity rates is market conditions. These conditions include things like the amount of new housing being built in a particular area, the availability of mortgages (both conventional and adjustable-rate), and the demand for property from buyers and sellers alike. Generally speaking, if there is an increase in demand for property (either from buyers or sellers), then prices will go up because there will be more competition among buyers and sellers for properties available on the market. Conversely, if there is a decrease in demand for property (either from buyers or sellers), then prices will go down because fewer properties will be available on the market at any given time.

Finally, local government policies can also affect home prices and home equity rates by either increasing or decreasing access to creditworthy borrowers or by changing regulations related to zoning laws or building codes. For example, governments may enact measures that make it easier for people to get mortgages by relaxing lending standards (for example by lowering interest rates) or they may pass laws that restrict access to certain areas (such as areas near schools) so that only those who can afford higher priced homes will be able purchase them.
