This graph shows homeowner percent equity since 1952.
Household percent equity (of household real estate) was up to 38% from the all time low of 33.5% earlier this year. The increase was due to a slight increase in the value of household real estate and a decline in mortgage debt.
Note: approximately 31% of households do not have a mortgage. So the 50+ million households with mortgages have far less than 38% equity
