Real estate vocabulary you might need to know when buying or selling your Kitchener Waterloo home: Balloon payment mortgage
A balloon payment mortgage is a mortgage, which does not fully amortize over the term of the note, thus leaving a balance due at maturity. The final payment is called a balloon payment because of its large size.
Balloon payment mortgages are more common in commercial real estate than in residential real estate. A balloon payment mortgage may have a fixed or a floating interest rate.
