So, the assets are in the form of equity in your primary home? Good! One college on your list does not even count home equity in its formula: Hamilton.

Wesleyan, Williams, and Haverford cap consideration of HE at 1.2X your income. So your HE would be considered at $60k. Brown, I believe, counts 100% of HE. So do Northeastern and Union. Rochester and Skidmore cap at 3x your income.

Of course the SUNY schools and any school that is FAFSA-only (does not require the CSS Profile) does not count HE at all.

CALL every school you are interested in (that takes CSS) to ask a financial aid professional how the college treats HE in FA decisions. This is going to be critical for you. Or someone at your boarding school should know this already.
