What is Homium

A Fair and Transparent Loan

For borrowers with equity that do not want monthly payments or additional interest burden, a Homium shared appreciation mortgage loan is an attractive option. When compared to other options (HELOCs, HEIs), Homium loans are more fair, less complex, more transparent, and considerably more affordable over the life cycle of the loan. In most cases, Homium loans cost less, are easier to understand and provide far more flexibility and independence for a homeowner when compared to similarly positioned products.

View All FAQs

You say no payments and no interest, how does Homium work?

That’s correct. Homium requires no monthly payments and does not charge or accrue interest. Instead, Homium earns a share of the home’s appreciation during the life of the loan 1-to-1 with the homeowner. By example, if a home owner borrowed 10% of their home’s value ($50K on a $500K home) and their home increased in value by 50% (to $750K), then when they repay the loan at sale or refinance they would owe 10% of their new home’s new value ($75K) based on an arms length sales price or qualifying appraisal.

Will Homium become available outside of Colorado?

We expect to expand into new markets in 2024.
