A balloon mortgage is a specialized type of loan product in which fixed monthly payments are made with a final large sum, the balloon payment, being due at the end of the mortgage term. Balloon mortgages can have pros and cons for the buyer depending on the reason for the purchase and the nature of the purchase in the LBI real estate market. The most common elements of a balloon mortgage are:

  • Fixed monthly payments
  • An established length of time for the loan
  • A final large payment being due at the end of the term (the balloon payment)

Balloon Mortgages in the LBI Real Estate Market

When dealing with a balloon mortgage, a buyer must understand that at a specific point in time in the course of the loan, the entire principal balance will be due. Under the terms of a balloon mortgage, generally speaking, the mortgage will be amortized as it would be for a conventional 30 year fixed mortgage, 15-year mortgage, etc. with regular monthly payments in place. At the agreed-upon date, the remaining principal balance will be due in full, and it will be the obligation of the borrower to make that payment. The difficulty here can be if the borrower does not have the funds available to make the balloon payment, they could end up in foreclosure or incurring additional costs.

Buying in the Long Beach Island Real Estate Market

Balloon mortgages do have a place in the LBI real estate market; however, they are one of the less popular loan products we see utilized. Generally speaking, buyers will opt for either a 30-year conventional fixed-rate mortgage or a longer-term adjustable-rate mortgage. When looking to build new construction in the LBI real estate market, construction loans and interest-only loans are generally to go-to products for their simplicity. As is the case with any mortgage, it is advisable to consult with a lender to understand the rate, terms, etc. and determine what loan product is the best option for you.
