Home equity products
Rates: 5.07 percent (line of credit); 8.24 percent (loan)
Rates on home equity products changed little this week.
The average home equity line of credit, or HELOC, fell 3 basis points to 5.07 percent. HELOC borrowing costs continue to fall as a result of the Federal Reserve's latest cut in the target federal funds rate.
Meanwhile, home equity loan rates fell 2 basis points, to 8.24 percent.
