FAQs
What is the current rate for a home equity loan?
Home equity loan rates currently start at a 6.99% fixed APR and vary based on multiple factors, including credit history, loan amount, income, loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, loan term, and property status.
Does a home equity loan change your interest rate?
Unlike a cash-out refinance, a home equity loan will not change the interest rate on your current mortgage, nor will you have to refinance your existing home loan. If you’re using a home equity loan to pay off an existing secured loan or unsecured debt, a home equity loan can often lower your interest rate compared to personal loans or credit cards.
What are average home equity loan rates?
The average 10-year home equity loan rate as of November 2025 is approximately 8.20% APR, but rates start as low as 6.99% APR. Individual rates vary based on factors such as credit score, income, and loan terms.
What is a good home equity loan rate?
As a general principle, a good home equity loan rate should be lower than rates on unsecured loans, such as personal loans and credit cards. However, the rate that makes sense for you will depend on your individual financial circumstances, as lower rates will tend to come from shorter loan terms, which will have higher monthly payments than longer terms.
Are home equity loans cheaper than HELOCs?
Usually HELOCs will have slightly lower interest rates than home equity loans. However, HELOCs often will have variable or introductory rates that can increase over time. Home equity loans are typically fixed rates that will not increase over time, which can make them more predictable to budget for.
Can you refinance a home equity loan?
Yes, you can refinance a home equity loan, which can be a prudent financial decision if your credit score has increased meaningfully or rates are lower. Just be sure to consider the potential fees or costs of refinancing—SoFi does not charge prepayment penalties, though other lenders may.
How do I get a home equity loan?
To get a home equity loan, you’ll want to ensure you have sufficient equity built in your home. With lenders like SoFi, you can start your application entirely online and see personalized rates within minutes. The lender will then assess your ability to repay, based on cash flow, credit history, and other factors, as well as verify the value of your property.
Does a home equity loan change your mortgage interest rate?
Unlike a cash-out refinance, a home equity loan will not change the interest rate on your current mortgage, nor will you have to refinance your existing home loan. This is particularly important for those who secured a mortgage rate below current industry averages, as the cost of borrowing through cash-out refinancing could be considerably more expensive than a home equity loan that allows you to keep your mortgage rate.
