Mortgage Rates Surpass 7%—Why Temporary Buydowns Are More Important Than Ever
With mortgage rates climbing above 7% for the first time since May 2024, affordability is becoming a bigger challenge for many buyers. But here’s the good news: temporary buydowns are a powerful tool to help you navigate this high-rate environment.
What’s a Temporary Buydown?
A 2-1 or 3-2-1 temporary buydown allows you to lower your mortgage interest rate during the first 1-3 years of your loan.
2-1 Buydown: Your rate is 2% lower in year one, 1% lower in year two, and adjusts to the full rate in year three.
3-2-1 Buydown: The rate starts 3% lower in year one, then steps up 2%, and 1% before hitting the full rate in year four.
Why You Should Consider a Buydown Today
1️⃣ Lower Monthly Payments: Ease into your mortgage payments with significantly reduced costs in the first few years.
2️⃣ Seller-Paid Incentives: Many sellers are willing to fund buydowns to make their home more attractive to buyers.
3️⃣ Time to Refinance: If rates drop in the future, you’ll have time to refinance before the full rate kicks in.
4️⃣ Smart Budgeting: A temporary buydown provides financial breathing room while you settle into your new home.
Don’t Let High Rates Hold You Back
