National HELOC Interest Rate Trends: What Homeowners Should Know

Biggest reason for refi or HELOC?

HELOC Rates: Current Snapshot

As of the latest data, the average rate for a $30,000 home equity line of credit (HELOC) is around 8.12%, according to Bankrate’s national survey of lenders. While rates can change week to week, keeping an eye on the national average helps you make informed decisions about tapping into your home equity.

Tip: Always check for the most recent HELOC rates before applying, as these rates are variable and can fluctuate with market conditions.

What Drives HELOC Rates?

HELOCs typically come with variable interest rates. These rates move in tandem with the prime rate, which is itself influenced by the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decisions. When the Fed holds rates steady, as it did in its recent meetings, HELOC rates tend to stabilize. However, any future changes by the Fed—such as a rate cut—could quickly impact what you pay on your line of credit.

Is a HELOC Right for You?

If you’re considering home renovations, debt consolidation, or need flexible access to funds, a HELOC can be a cost-effective alternative to a home improvement loan or a cash-out refinance. Unlike a refinance, a HELOC lets you keep your existing low-rate mortgage intact.

Expert insight:
“A HELOC offers more flexibility over when and how much you withdraw,” says Stephen Kates, financial analyst at Bankrate. “Borrowers anticipating changing borrowing needs, or who want open-ended access to their home’s equity, might find greater value in a HELOC. Its flexible draw period and variable rate can be advantages for those expecting rates to decline and who are comfortable with changing loan terms.”
