Is the 2-1 Buydown Program Right For You?
A 2-1 BUYDOWN PROGRAM CAN HELP HOMEBUYERS LOWER THEIR INTEREST RATE BY UP TO 2% AT THE START OF THEIR LOAN
We can all agree that extra flexibility with a lower monthly payment is a WIN! Through the Temporary Rate Buydown program which lowers the interest rate through a tiered program makes that achievable. It’s a great option for borrowers who expect an increase in their income in the next few years or who have excess seller concessions to use — and want to take advantage of a low fixed rate.
Available for:
- Conventional primary and second home purchases
- FHA and VA primary home purchases
Seller-paid 1- and 2-year buydown options
- 2-1 buydown of 2% in the first year and 1% in the second year. By the third year they are at the full rate.
- 1-0 buydown of 1% in the first year. By the second year they are at the full rate.
- See an example of the potential savings on a 2-1 temporary buydown:
- The borrower must qualify for the full monthly payment (before the buydown rate is applied)
- Seller concessions are deposited as a lump sum into a buydown account. A portion of this sum is released each month to reduce the borrower’s monthly payments.
