M = P[r(1+r)^n/((1+r)^n)-1)]
The sum for which a home is bought or sold. This does not include the extra payments made to third parties or the other costs of buying and owning a property.
A down payment covers a certain percentage of the purchase price of a house that you pay upfront. If you buy a home, a down payment can range from 5% to 25% of the home’s total value, and a bank or other lender covers the rest of the cost. A higher down payment decreases the amount of interest paid when you pay the regular installments on your loan.
The amount of interest paid on a mortgage. Mortgage interest rates can stay fixed or can fluctuate. If the purchaser has a high credit score, the lender lowers the rate because they risk less by loaning the money. The risk and rate correlate: the higher the risk of loaning the money, the higher the mortgage interest rate.
Loan term refers to the amount of time the borrower follows the mortgage agreement, including the interest rate, regular payments, and other specific conditions upon which the mortgage was granted.
Principal and interest make up the bulk of your mortgage payment. Principal is the part of your mortgage that gets applied to the value of your home, and interest is a fee paid to the bank for financing your loan.

Required by some condominiums and neighborhoods as part of a homeowners’ association (HOA). Dues are typically paid directly to the homeowners’ association (HOA) and are not included in the payment you make to your mortgage servicer.
