Home Prices, Mortgage Rates and Consumer Spending

• Over $200 B per year in spending power has been added from the growth of borrowing against rising home prices.

• Home equity loans increase from $552 Billion in 2001 to $881 Billion in 2004

• Home equity cash out refis grew from $92 Billion 1996-1999 to $400 Billion 2002-2004

• This borrowing has fueled consumer spending and it will slow as housing price gains moderate.
