According to data from the U.S. Home Equity and Underwater Report put together by RealtyTrac, the number of properties with at least 50 percent equity grew by more than a million between the second quarters of 2014 and 2015. The most recent period ended with 10.9 million properties being equity rich, which is about 19.6 percent of all mortgaged properties.
