🔻 Temporary Rate Buydowns

 Lower Your Mortgage Payment for the First 1–3 Years

A temporary rate buydown is a financing strategy that reduces your interest rate for the first few years of your loan — giving you lower monthly payments when you need them most. It’s a great way to ease into homeownership or free up cash during the early years of your mortgage.

💡 Who Benefits From a Buydown?

🏠 Buyers:
Lower payments upfront can make your home more affordable and help with moving costs, furnishing, or saving.

🏡 Sellers & Builders:
Use a buydown as an incentive to attract more offers — without reducing your sales price.


📉 How It Works:

  • 3-2-1 Buydown: 3% lower Year 1 → 2% lower Year 2 → 1% lower Year 3 → Full rate Year 4
     
  • 2-1 Buydown: 2% lower Year 1 → 1% lower Year 2 → Full rate Year 3
     
  • 1-0 Buydown: 1% lower for the first year → Full rate the next year
     

Important: You still must qualify at the full (note) rate, and the buydown cost is typically paid by the seller, builder, lender, or even the buyer’s agent in some cases.


✅ Key Highlights:

  • Available for Conventional, FHA, and VA loans
     
  • Applies to primary and second homes only
     
  • Lender-paid and agent-paid buydown options now available
     
  • Helps offset payment shocks from rising rates
