Frequently Asked Questions
What is an escrow account?
An escrow account is a separate account held by your mortgage servicer to pay property taxes and insurance on your behalf. A portion of each monthly mortgage payment goes into the escrow account, and the servicer pays bills when they come due.
What is an escrow cushion?
An escrow cushion is an extra amount (typically 1-2 months of payments) held in the escrow account as a buffer against unexpected increases in taxes or insurance. Federal law allows lenders to maintain a cushion of up to two months.
Can I avoid escrow?
Some lenders allow you to waive escrow if you have at least 20% equity and a good credit score. You would then pay property taxes and insurance directly. Some lenders charge a small fee or higher interest rate for waiving escrow.
