Escrow Analysis
An escrow analysis is an annual review performed by your mortgage servicer to ensure your escrow account is collecting the correct amount to cover upcoming property tax and insurance payments.
If taxes or insurance costs have increased, the analysis may result in a higher monthly payment to make up the difference. If costs have decreased or the account has a surplus, your payment may go down or you may receive a refund.
An escrow analysis is not a rate change or a penalty. It is a routine recalculation required by federal law to keep your account properly funded. Payment changes resulting from an escrow analysis are separate from any changes to your interest rate.
Why This Matters: Escrow analysis is the most common reason your mortgage payment changes from year to year. Understanding when it happens and why prepares you for adjustments and prevents confusion.
