Intro : Understand How Mortgage Work

For most homebuyers, purchasing a home involves taking out a mortgage. A mortgage is a loan provided by a lender—such as a bank or financial institution—that helps you buy a property. Instead of paying the full cost of the home upfront, you repay the loan over time through regular monthly payments.

​

Each mortgage payment typically includes two main parts: principal, which reduces the loan balance, and interest, which is the cost of borrowing the money. In many cases, payments may also include property taxes and homeowners insurance.

Understanding how mortgages work can help you make better financial decisions, choose the right loan option, and plan your budget effectively when buying a home.
