The mortgage term is the period during which the agreed-upon conditions, like the interest rate, are in effect. Terms typically range from six months to ten years. At the end of the term, you have the option to either pay off the mortgage or renew it, often with new terms and conditions. This flexibility allows borrowers to adjust their mortgage based on current financial circumstances and market conditions.
