Many seniors and their families hesitate to explore reverse mortgages because of common myths. Some believe they will lose their home, that their children will owe money, or that reverse mortgages are only for those in financial trouble. These statements are inaccurate. Homeowners retain ownership if they meet loan obligations, and heirs only repay the loan if they choose to retain the home.

In reality, the reverse mortgage industry is seeing more clarity and activity in 2025, with lenders forming partnerships and developing products for older homeowners (Clow, 2025). That signals more options and transparency for borrowers.
