Many homeowners hear the word “escrow” without fully understanding what it means.
Here’s the simple version:
Your escrow account helps manage expenses tied to your home, typically property taxes and homeowners' insurance.
Instead of paying those large bills separately once or twice a year, a portion is collected monthly with your mortgage payment and paid on your behalf when due.
Why it matters:
• Helps homeowners budget more predictably
• Prevents large surprise expenses
• Keeps taxes and insurance current
Understanding how your loan is structured gives you more control and confidence as a homeowner.
