Home Equity Borrowers Prioritize Speed Over Small Rate Differences, Blend Labs Says

By Public Technologies
  • Five-day home equity closings are becoming a competitive baseline as borrowers prioritize speed over small rate differences, according to Blend Labs’ analysis.
  • Outdated processes and single application queues delay straightforward loans; routing files by complexity can shorten closing times.
  • Daily monitoring and shared closing deadlines can reduce delays; reusing customer data and early eligibility decisions offer longer-term gains.
  • Banks and credit unions retain trust advantages through existing customer relationships, but slow responses risk losing borrowers to fintech lenders.
