Homeowners Gained $60,200 In Equity On Average This Year — Blend’s New Digitized Home Equity Lending Software Will Make Accessing That Easier Than Ever

Blend Labs Inc.

Home equity in the United States hit record levels this year, exceeding $29 trillion in the second quarter, according to the Federal Reserve. That represents a gain of nearly 28% in equity year over year, with the average homeowner gaining about $60,200 in equity. But sky-high inflation and a clunky, outdated lending process have made using that equity difficult for many homeowners. These opposing forces are creating increased demand for financial products — especially home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) — that allow homeowners enjoying near-unprecedented home equity gains to tap into that new equity while banks struggle with an outdated, largely paper-based application process to approve new HELOC and home equity loan requests. That’s why companies like Blend Labs Inc. (NYSE: BLND) are working to digitize the home equity lending space. The cloud-based software platform turns a slow, 30-plus step process from application to funding into a quick process that can be completed in about three steps. HELOC Demand Is Surging, But Banks Are Still Relying On Outdated Paper-Based Applications HELOC volume surged almost 50% in the first half of the year, as the revolving line of credit with a variable rate and, usually, no origination fee is more attractive than a cash-out refinance for borrowers who locked in historically low rates on their original mortgage in the last few years. Homeowners are looking to leverage this spike in home equity to consolidate high-interest debts into lower-interest home equity lines of credit, make home renovations that could increase equity even further or use as a down payment on a second property to build up a real estate portfolio. That increase in HELOC volume is likely also thanks to the introduction of digital or tech-based solutions to the mortgage space that make it easier for customers to shop around for financial products, compare rates and offers and complete the application process. Traditionally, home equity lending has been slow to modernize, relying on a paper-based process with an average of 30 or more steps between application and funding that can take over 45 days to close. A lot of this is because of the clunky manual process on the bank’s side that leaves the customer waiting while a banker reviews the application, verifies assets and income, pulls credit, requests documents and so on. To meet the increasing demand, banks with the help of fintechs are finally taking this opportunity to update and digitize that process so homeowners can tap into their equity faster and more easily. Figure Technologies Inc. (NYSE: FACA.U), for example, is using blockchain technology to record and exchange data about a loan, automating much of the manual process that used to be needed. Meanwhile, Button Finance is using artificial intelligence to speed up the decision-making and funding process for home equity loans. Blend Instant Home Equity Brings Much-Needed Digitization to Home Equity Lending Blend Instant Home Equity is the latest from a company determined to bring digitization and tech-based solutions to the real estate and mortgage industries. The new product incorporates some of Blend’s existing software, like its Blend Income Verification and remote online notarization platform, to create a faster and more cost-effective alternative to home equity lending. The automated end-to-end product integrates identity and income verification, property appraisal, title, decisioning and notarization to cut the time and costs associated with processing a home equity loan application. For bankers, this makes it possible to generate a personalized offer for homeowners, approve it instantly and close it in a matter of days rather than weeks. For consumers, this means they can now easily access their home equity for things like debt consolidation and more. Unlike other fintechs in the home equity lending space, Blend uses modular architecture that makes it easy to develop new banking products that all integrate into one platform. This allows banks to digitize more of their services without relying on multiple pieces of software that may not integrate with each other. Banks incorporating the new Blend Instant Home Equity product can easily add its mortgage and other lending software. That ecosystem approach seems to be working, too, as Blend reports that 71% of its current customer base uses two or more Blend products. As competition in home equity lending heats up, banks are going to need digitization tools like these to handle larger volumes of applications while avoiding the long wait times that could drive customers to competing lenders. Powering the Future of Banking Blend is the infrastructure powering the future of banking. Financial providers—from the largest banks, fintechs, and credit unions to community and independent mortgage banks—use Blend’s platform to transform banking experiences for their customers.

Silicon Valley Leadership Group Joins with Other California Business Associations to Call Upon Biden Administration to Accelerate Implementation of CHIPS Act Incentive Program

Silicon Valley Leadership Group

Leading a coalition of California business associations, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG) today urged the Biden Administration and Congress to accelerate implementation of the multibillion dollar CHIPS Act incentive program, which is critical to sustaining and strengthening the state’s thriving innovation economy. According to the White House, America had more than 30 percent of global chip production over 30 years ago, while today, America produces barely 10 percent of the world’s chips. The CHIPS Act seeks to change this by investing $280 billion over the next ten years to revitalize U.S. competitiveness, innovation, and national security. Over the next five years, the Department of Commerce will oversee $50 billion in investments including $11 billion for advanced semiconductor R&D and $39 billion to speed up domestic chip production. Additionally, the Act creates a private sector investment tax credit for semiconductor manufacturing of approximately $24 billion. “The CHIPS Act promises to bolster Silicon Valley competitiveness by supercharging critical innovation infrastructure,” said Silicon Valley Leadership Group CEO Ahmad Thomas. “Our member companies stand ready to quickly leverage the federal government’s multi-billion dollar investment to help strengthen U.S. technology, ensure our global competitiveness, and fortify our supply chain resilience.” In a package of letters to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and members of the California delegation, the coalition emphasized that: “The [CHIPS and Science] Act presents a unique moment to seize upon California’s innovation and manufacturing advantages that will help strengthen the national economy and reinforce our critical supply chain of needed semiconductor chips and components. We respectfully request that the Department of Commerce move expeditiously to implement the Act’s incentive program, and we are happy to serve as an industry resource as the Act is implemented." In addition to the SVLG, the letters were signed by the Bay Area Council, Chamber San Mateo County, Fremont Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles County Business Federation, San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, San Mateo County Economic Development Association, Sunnyvale Chamber of Commerce, and Valley Industry & Commerce Association. American businesses rely on semiconductors as essential components in electronic products like desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Advancing the nation's military capabilities also requires semiconductors for cutting-edge technologies. Expanding domestic manufacturing of semiconductors will bolster national security, supply chain resilience, and strengthen the national economy. California’s Innovation Economy, made up of diverse actors including technology companies, premier research entities, and comprehensive supply chain leaders, is well-positioned to leverage the Act’s incentives and act as a force multiplier for federal investment to strengthen national manufacturing, R&D, and semiconductor workforce training. President Biden released an implementation strategy for the $50 billion under the CHIPS for America program, which is available here. A summary of the legislation is available here. About the Silicon Valley Leadership Group: The Leadership Group is a business organization of hundreds of Silicon Valley’s most dynamic companies working to shape the innovation economy of California and the nation. Founded by David Packard of Hewlett-Packard, for over 40 years the SVLG has worked to address issues that affect the region’s economic health and quality of life. Today the SVLG Is focused on economic competitiveness with a special focus on diversity & inclusion, climate change and infrastructure. SVLG members collectively provide nearly one of every three private sector jobs in Silicon Valley and contribute more than $3 trillion to the worldwide economy. For more information, visit svlg.org.
