Home Equity Shines: Hometap Quoted in HousingWire's State of the Market

Home equity investments are proving the exception in a tough market, HousingWire's Bill Conroy found in a recent feature assessing the state of play for the industry.

Noting continued HEI growth and deal activity in a challenged year for the broader housing finance landscape, Conroy eyed capital markets engagement as a budding tool to fulfill HEIs' potential and continue to support scale. "Hometap sees the recent ratings methodology developed for the shared-equity (HEI or HEA) space by DBRS Morningstar as an attractive opportunity for expanding liquidity and deal flow," he writes.

"The establishment of marketable securities and a bond market for HEI is already attracting more capital into the space, which augurs further opportunity to help provide our HEI financing alternative to homeowners," CEO Jeff Glass added.
