Around 80% of mortgage borrowers in the United States have an escrow or impound account. In fact, these accounts are required by some lenders.
These accounts hold money on behalf of the buyer to ensure certain payments are made on time - typically homeowners insurance and property taxes. This can help reduce liability and risk lenders take on, giving buyers access to better financing options.
