Latest data from ATTOM showed that 48.1% of mortgaged residential properties in the United States were considered equity-rich in the second quarter, up from 44.9% in the previous quarter. Despite economic uncertainties connected to high mortgage rates and inflation, equity continued to grow because home values kept soaring. During the Spring, the median single-family home price climbed 9% quarter over quarter and 15% annually to a new high of $346,000.
