HELOCs are back and bigger than ever!

Home-equity lending surpassed 2009 levels in 2013, with $111 billion in new home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) opened. In the fourth quarter, new lending increased 43% from quarter four 2012, according to data from Experian-Oliver Wyman Market Intelligence Reports and Experian’s IntelliView tool.

Haha awesome.

Though I imagine that surpassing "2009 levels" is not very exciting. Wake me up when they surpass 2005 levels!
