If I currently own a home, how does that affect the Home Planning goal in my plan?
Wealthfront gives you the option to use any equity you have in a current home to help fund the purchase of another home. Path, our advice engine, assumes you would use the entire home equity in the home sold as a down payment in the new home, even if this implies a down payment value above your target down payment percentage.
Please see our methodology for more details.
Path is a sophisticated personal finance model offered by Wealthfront that allows Clients to plan for the future and explore projections of various possible financial outcomes. The projections in Path are estimates based on Clients’ latest data from linked financial accounts, tolerance for risk, and current investments, as well as assumptions compiled by Wealthfront’s Research team.
Wealthfront and its affiliates do not provide tax advice and investors are encouraged to consult with their personal tax advisor. Financial advisory and planning services are only provided to investors who become Clients by way of a written agreement. All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of money you invest. Past performance does not guarantee future performance.
