How much equity Santo owners could borrow

Home equity is what your home is worth minus what you owe. Most lenders let you borrow until your loans add up to 80% to 85% of the home's value. For the median Santo home of $161,500, 80% is $129,200.

74% of Santo owners have no mortgage at all, so they could borrow up to the full 80% limit.
