"The companies' Reverse Mortgage Market Index (RMMI) rose from 486.69 in Q1 2025 to its highest level ever 502.47 in Q2 2025. The index has tracked reverse mortgage market opportunity since 2000 by analyzing and reporting on trends in senior home values and home equity levels. The increase in senior homeowners' wealth was largely attributable to an estimated 2.9% (or $474.8 billion) increase in home values among this age group, offset by a 0.9% (or $23 billion) increase in mortgage debt."
"Now may be an appropriate time to think about how home equity can be used strategically to help lessen the financial impact that these everyday costs are having. The most recent home equity data from ICE Mortgage Technology's August 2025 Mortgage Monitor report shows total home equity reaching a record high heading into the third quarter, with about $17.8 trillion in aggregate equity and $11.6 trillion considered tappable while maintaining a 20% cushion."
The Reverse Mortgage Market Index rose from 486.69 in Q1 2025 to a record 502.47 in Q2 2025. The index tracks reverse mortgage market opportunity since 2000 by analyzing senior home values and home equity. Senior homeowners' wealth increased mainly due to an estimated 2.9% ($474.8 billion) rise in home values, partly offset by a 0.9% ($23 billion) rise in mortgage debt. Inflation continues to strain older Americans' budgets, particularly groceries and healthcare premiums. Home equity may be used strategically to reduce these everyday cost pressures. ICE Mortgage Technology reports about $17.8 trillion in aggregate home equity, $11.6 trillion tappable with a 20% cushion.
