The national lust for home equity lines of credit: should we worry?

Home equity credit lines allow Canadians to borrow big – up to 80 per cent of a property's value when combined with a mortgage. According to the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals, 22 per cent of homeowners had a home equity line of credit in 2014. They owed an average of $57,000.
