HELOC end-of-draw analysis: Managing risk and anticipating consumer behaviors

Document: Published Aug 3, 2016

While the mortgage meltdown tied to the Great Recession has passed, the peak of loans originating during that downturn continues to be monitored and assessed. Home equity lending was especially popular during the housing boom, and as the end-of-draw period trails, there is a great interest in consumer behaviors and repayment tied to these loans. This Experian analysis explores the spike in end of draw, as well as trends attached to originations and delinquencies.
