home financing

Property purchase loan

Home financing refers to the methods and instruments used to fund the purchase of residential property.

Most buyers can't pay cash, so they obtain mortgages—loans secured by the property itself.

Home financing encompasses the loan terms, interest rates, down payments, and repayment schedules that determine what buyers can afford: They explored their home financing options before making an offer.
