If you own a home in Manhattan, chances are your equity is worth more than you think. In today’s Manhattan housing market, homeowners often underestimate how much their property has appreciated — and that equity could be the key to your next move.
Why Equity Matters
Home equity is the difference between what your home is worth today and what you still owe on your mortgage. With New York real estate values holding strong, many homeowners have built up more equity than they realize. That equity can give you options — whether you want to:
-
Upgrade to a larger apartment or brownstone
-
Downsize to a more manageable space
-
Tap into your home’s value for renovations or investments
Making Equity Clear with a PEAR Report
One of the best tools available right now is the Professional Equity Assessment Report (PEAR). Instead of just talking about numbers, PEAR uses clean visuals, powerful data, and built-in talking points to make your home’s equity crystal clear. It shows the value — not just the explanation.
