Mortgage Terms You Should Know
Navigating the mortgage process can feel overwhelming, but understanding key terms will help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Use this guide as your quick reference throughout your homebuying journey.
Interest Rate - The cost of borrowing money. Even a small difference in rate can significantly impact your monthly payment and total cost over time
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) -The interest rate plus most fees, shown as a yearly percentage. It gives you a more complete view of what your loan will cost.
Principal - The amount of money you borrow not including interest.
Escrow - A separate account your lender manages to pay your property taxes and homeowners insurance on your behalf A portion of your monthly mortgage payment goes into this account.
Down Payment - The amount you pay upfront toward the purchase of your home A larger down payment may lower your monthly payment or help you avoid mortgage insurance
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) - Insurance that protects the lender if you stop making payments PMI is typically required on conventional loans with less than 20% down, and can often be removed later.
Fixed-Rate Mortgage - Your interest rate stays the same for the life of the loan, which means predictable monthly payments
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) - Your interest rate may change over time after an initial fixed period This could lower your rate upfront, but it may go up or down later
Amortization - The schedule that shows how your loan is paid down over time, breaking out how much of each payment goes toward interest and principal.
Closing Costs - Fees paid at the end of the transaction, which may include appraisal, title fees, lender fees, and more. These typically range from 2–5% of the loan amount.
