North America Mortgage Facts

Understanding how mortgages work in North America is essential for making informed financial decisions when buying property. Here are some basic facts:

  • Fixed-Rate Mortgage: Interest rate remains constant throughout the loan term, resulting in fixed monthly payments.
  • Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM): Interest rate adjusts with market changes, typically starting with a lower initial rate.
  • Loan Terms: Common mortgage terms in North America are 15, 20, and 30 years.
  • Down Payment: A down payment of at least 20% is recommended to avoid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
  • Property Tax: Levied based on property value, with rates varying by location.
  • Home Insurance: Protects your property against damage or loss, typically required by lenders.
