Understanding Your Mortgage
Down Payment
The amount you pay upfront toward the purchase price. A larger down payment reduces the loan amount and monthly payments. Most lenders require 3-20% down.
Interest Rate
The percentage of the loan amount charged as interest. Rates vary based on credit score, loan term, and market conditions. Even small differences impact your total cost significantly.
Loan Term
The length of time to repay the loan. Common options are 15, 20, or 30 years. Shorter terms have higher monthly payments but lower total interest.
Principal & Interest
The monthly payment shown covers principal (paying down the loan) and interest (cost of borrowing). This doesn't include property taxes, insurance, or HOA fees.
Additional Costs to Consider
- • Property Taxes: Annual taxes vary by location and property value
- • Homeowners Insurance: Required by lenders, protects your investment
- • HOA Fees: Common fees for condos and planned communities
- • PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance): Required if down payment is less than 20%
- • Utilities & Maintenance: Budget for ongoing home expenses
- • Closing Costs: 2-5% of purchase price for loan origination and title work
