A “gift of equity” refers to a gift provided by the seller of a property to the buyer. The gift represents a portion of the seller's equity in the property, and is transferred to the buyer as a credit in the transaction.

Keep in mind, there is no limit to how much equity can be gifted. So, if your parents could sell you that same home for $264,000, you'd have $66,000 in gifted equity. That equates to an even more attractive 20% down payment. The more you're able to put down, the less mortgage you need to take out.
