If you’ve ever bought or sold a home, you’ve probably heard the term “escrow”—but have you ever wondered what it means and what exactly the escrow process entails? Here are a few common questions to help shed light on this important step in the home sales process:
– What is escrow? Escrow is a legal term indicating that a deed, property, deposit, or fund is temporarily in the custody of a neutral third party, such as an escrow company, title company, or law firm. These third parties hold money and the property until all conditions from the purchase and sale agreement have been satisfied and the deal closes.
– What is an escrow account? There are two types of escrow accounts that serve different purposes: one is used during the home buying process to protect a buyer’s earnest money deposit until all conditions of the sale have been met, and the other holds a homeowner’s money for expenses such as property taxes and insurance throughout the life of a mortgage loan. This second type of escrow account can make it more convenient to manage your tax and insurance payments, since your lender will estimate the total annual expenses, add a prorated portion to your monthly mortgage payment, and handle paying the bills when they are due—thereby eliminating the need for you to make large lump-sum payments once or twice a year.
– How long does the escrow process last? Escrow begins when the seller accepts an offer and the buyer provides an earnest money deposit. Typically, the process lasts about 30-60 days until the closing occurs, although the timeframe may vary depending on factors such as issues that arise during inspections or delays with the mortgage lender. At closing, the escrow agent will transfer the deed to the buyer and the earnest money to the seller.
