Mortgage Glossary

A GUIDE TO MORTGAGE RELATED TERMS

The mortgage industry is constantly evolving, and it can be difficult to keep up with all the latest terms and trends. In this blog post, we'll explore the most searched mortgage-related terms and what they mean for home buyers and borrowers.


  • Interest Rates - Interest rates are the cost of borrowing money and one of the most important factors to consider when applying for a mortgage. They determine your monthly mortgage payment, as well as the total cost of your loan over its lifetime. Interest rates can vary depending on the type of loan you choose, your credit score, and other factors.


  • Refinance - Refinance refers to the process of taking out a new mortgage to pay off your existing mortgage. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to secure a lower interest rate, lower your monthly payment, or access equity in your home.


  • Pre-Approval - Pre-approval is a critical step in the home buying process. It means that a lender has reviewed your financial situation and determined that you are eligible for a mortgage up to a certain amount. Pre-approval gives you an idea of what you can afford, and it can also make you a more competitive home buyer in a bidding war.


  • Fixed-Rate Mortgage - A fixed-rate mortgage is a type of mortgage where the interest rate remains the same for the entire life of the loan. This provides borrowers with stability and predictability, as their monthly mortgage payment will not change over time.


  • Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) - An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is a type of mortgage where the interest rate changes over time. This type of mortgage is typically tied to an index, such as the Libor, and adjusts based on changes in the index. ARMs are popular because they offer lower initial interest rates than fixed-rate mortgages.


  • FHA Loan - An FHA loan is a government-insured mortgage that is designed to help low- and moderate-income home buyers purchase a home. FHA loans have lower credit score requirements and more relaxed income and debt-to-income ratio requirements compared to conventional loans.


  • VA Loan - A VA loan is a government-insured mortgage that is designed specifically for military veterans and their families. VA loans have no down payment requirements, no private mortgage insurance requirements, and lower credit score requirements than conventional loans.


  • Mortgage Insurance - Mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that protects the lender in the event of default by the borrower. It is typically required for borrowers who have a down payment of less than 20% of the purchase price of their home.


  • Down Payment - A down payment is the initial payment made by a home buyer towards the purchase of a property. Down payments can range from 3% to 20% of the purchase price, depending on the type of loan and other factors.


These are the most searched mortgage-related terms that home buyers and borrowers should be familiar with. Understanding these terms will help you navigate the mortgage process and make informed decisions about your home financing.
