Lower Monthly Housing Costs Providing Households with More Liquidity
WHY LIQUIDITY MATTERS
Access to liquid assets or savings that can be used for unexpected expenses is a primary indicator of sustainable homeownership. When homeowners experience cost increases or have major life events that affect their finances, it doesn’t matter how much equity they have in their home, it’s their liquidity that determines their ability to stay current on mortgage payments.
Economic Architecture is exploring how new structural innovations can be introduced to the housing market to help homeowners remain current on their mortgage payments for the duration of their homeownership. Two of these innovations, Project H2O and Project Ray, are currently in development and welcome participants and partners to share in this mission.
Our Approach
Homeowners whose down payment is less than 20% are generally required to have mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance is required to protect the lender against possible losses when the mortgage value is more than 80% of the home value. Homeowners can cancel their mortgage insurance when their equity in the home reaches 20%, generally calculated by adding the down payment and mortgage amortization. However, the 20% threshold to cancel mortgage insurance can be achieved in different ways and Economic Architecture is helping homeowners to cancel their mortgage insurance early by using the different methods available.
