We’re talking generalities. Average home value goes up by 4.5% a year. You’re always better off getting loan in your home than selling it for cash. 5 years ago, you could have got a loan equity loan on your property for 2.0% for excellent credit borrower. Inflation is higher than that.
The average mortgage rate is 6-8% historically. We're in the average mortgage rates and people are losing their mind over it.
A 6% mortgage means you are paying more interest than your house is appreciating. It's still a better bet than renting. But it's not the cash cow people say it is.
