According to Curinos, a real estate data analytics company, the difference between the current home equity loan (HEL) rate and the average HELOC rate is 61 basis points.

But that doesn't mean selecting a HELOC over a HEL is the automatic right decision. It's how you plan to use your funds which will dictate the loan product that is best for you. If you need a lump sum of cash, then a HEL is likely your right choice. If you need access to cash over an extended period, withdrawing as you need, then a HELOC is likely the right option for you.

The average HELOC adjustable rate is 7.25%, according to real estate data analytics company Curinos. The national average fixed rate on a home equity loan is 7.86%. Both rates are based on applicants with a minimum credit score of 780 and a maximum combined loan-to-value ratio (CLTV) of less than 70%.

A HELOC allows you to draw from your approved line of credit as you need it. A home equity loan gives you a lump sum.
