Balloon Mortgages

A balloon mortgage is a type of home loan that requires smaller monthly payments for a certain period, followed by a large final payment, known as a balloon payment, at the end of the loan term.

​

During the loan period, borrowers typically pay only a portion of the principal along with interest, which keeps the monthly payments lower compared to traditional mortgages. However, when the loan term ends—often after 5 to 7 years—the remaining balance of the loan must be paid in full.

​

Balloon mortgages can be suitable for borrowers who expect to sell the home, refinance, or receive a significant amount of money before the final payment is due. However, they carry some risk because the borrower must be prepared to handle the large final payment if refinancing or selling the property is not possible.
