ATTOM Data’s third quarter 2024 U.S. Home Equity & Underwater Report showed that the West and Northeastern regions of the United States have the highest proportion of equity-rich mortgages. This dynamic showed strongest in Vermont, where 86.4% of homes were found to be equity-rich, or had a home value equal to at least twice the amount left on the mortgage. Maine followed at 62.2%, with New Hampshire at 61.1% and Rhode Island and Montana clocking in at 60.6% and 60.5%, respectively.
