Can you buy a house without a mortgage?

Yes, it is possible to buy a house without a mortgage. If one had the financial resources, one could purchase a home outright without taking any sort of loan whatsoever. One could also finance the purchase of a home using a loan that is not a type of mortgage. This latter scenario would be unlikely, however, given that the terms of the loan would probably be less advantageous to the borrower than a typical mortgage.
