Is Now the Time to Consolidate Debt or Tap Into Your Home’s Equity?

October 05, 20252 min read

If you own a home in Connecticut, Florida, or North Carolina, now may be one of the best opportunities in years to rethink your monthly debt strategy. With credit card balances at all-time highs and interest rates finally trending back down, many homeowners are discovering that a cash-out refinance, debt consolidation refinance, or a second mortgage/HELOC could provide significant relief.

Why Homeowners Are Looking at Their Options

  • Credit card interest rates are averaging 20% or more, which makes it difficult to get ahead on monthly payments.

  • Mortgage rates have started to ease from recent highs, opening the door to new strategies for tapping into equity.

  • Home values remain strong, giving many homeowners more borrowing power than they realize.

Smart Ways to Restructure Debt

  1. Cash-Out Refinance
    Roll your higher-interest debt into a new mortgage. This can simplify your payments and potentially lower your total monthly obligations.

  2. Debt Consolidation Refinance
    Even if you don’t need cash for major projects, consolidating debt into a single, lower-rate mortgage can free up monthly cash flow and reduce stress.

  3. Second Mortgage or HELOC
    Love your current low mortgage rate? Keep it! A second mortgage or home equity line of credit allows you to access your equity without touching your first mortgage, while still giving you the power to pay off high-interest debt.
