Hey,

I have a home equity line of credit (HELOC). I was wondering, do HELOCs expire? I am aware that HELOC includes two phases i.e. the draw period and the repayment period. On average, both periods last up to 25 or 30 years. My banker told me, HELOC expires on the draw period. Keep reading to know more.

How does HELOC work?

Until the draw period of a HELOC comes to an end. The borrower gets access to a set line amount from which they can draw funds based on the home’s equity. They can borrow funds up to the limit and pay them back. The drawee can borrow more money as many times as they want until the expiry of HELOC.

  What happens when home equity line of credit expires?

When the home equity line of credit expires, the borrower is unable to draw funds based on the home’s equity. The drawee cannot borrow from the loan once HELOC is over. Usually, the draw period can last between five to 10 years. The borrower will be charged with the outstanding balance.

If the HELOC balance is at zero, then the account automatically closes upon expiry/end of the draw period. After the expiry period, the drawee/borrower enters the repayment period. The loan transforms into a repayment schedule where the principal and interest amount is due each month. 

I hope my answer has provided you with insight into do HELOCS expire.
