Understanding Mortgage Basics

knowledge is power so learning the terms commonly used when researching your mortgage options is key. The calculator doesn't help if you don't know the language it's speaking.

Amortization

Amortization is the length of time the entire mortgage debt will be paid. The longer the period, the lower your payments, but the more interest you pay in the long run.

Interest Rates

Mortage interest rates are fixed, variable or adjustable.

Fixed is a locked in rate that will not change for the term
Variable is a rate that fluctuates pending the market conditions while the payment remains unchanged
Adjustable rate means both the interest and the mortgage payment change based on market conditions

Mortgage Term

The term is the length of time the mortgage contract conditions, including interest rate, are fixed. The term can be 6 months to 10 years.

Open or Closed Mortgage

Closed mortgages cannot be paid off, in whole or in part, before the end of the term. A closed mortgage. There are often penalties if you pay additional amount but is a good option if you want predictable monthly expenses.

Open mortgage means you can pay off part or the entire amount at any time without penalty. This may be a better option if you plan to sell in the future.

Conventional vs High Ratio Mortgage

Conventional Mortgage: a mortgage loan that is equal to, or less than, 80 percent of the lending value of the property. A down payment for a conventional mortgage is at least 20 percent of the purchase price or market value.

High-ratio Mortgage: If your down-payment is less than 20 percent of the home price, you will typically need a high-ration mortgage which usually requires mortgage loan insurance.
