Freddie Mac forecasts a 4.9 percent increase in home prices in 2018, lower than the 6.3 percent growth seen so far this year. Mortgage rates also are up from near-record lows in 2016, prompting predictions that refinancings will fall to 25 percent of mortgage activity in 2018\u2014the lowest share since 1990, according to Fannie Mae.<\/p>\n<p>Still, homeowners likely will continue building equity next year. In the second quarter of 2017, the dollar volume of equity cashed out was $15 million, up $1.2 million from the first quarter. As home prices rise, cash-out activity has been rising, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe economic environment remains favorable for housing and mortgage markets,\u201d says Freddie Mac chief economist Sean Becketti. \u201cFor several years, we have had moderate economic growth of about two percent a year, solid job gains, and low mortgage interest rates.
