Escrow Analysis
Defined by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker
An escrow analysis is the lender's annual review of your escrow account to make sure it holds enough to cover upcoming taxes and insurance.
What Escrow Analysis means
If taxes or premiums rise, the analysis raises your monthly escrow portion and may collect a shortage. If there is a surplus, you get a refund. It is why a payment can change even on a fixed-rate loan.
Florida example
After a Florida insurance premium jumped, the annual escrow analysis raised a homeowner's monthly payment by $140 to cover the higher cost and a small shortage.
