Hi Caymanss,

Yes, your down payment is part of your equity and the way you determine the amount of equity that you have is by taking the current value of your home and subtracting the amount you owe on it.

So your equity changes daily...and these days, it can be dramatic. But in a normal selling market, it should steadily increase over time.

you add value
basically your equity is the difference between your home value and the amount you owe for the home
