The Ultimate 2-1 BUYDOWN Guide!

Affordability is a key issue facing both homebuyers and home sellers. For homebuyers, providing affordability options makes the purchase of a home possible. And for home sellers, more affordability creates demand for their home and ultimately can result in a higher net profit.

A mortgage rate buydown might be the solution that creates a Win! Win! for everyone. This strategy lets the homebuyer lower their interest rate on the mortgage in the beginning of their new loan.

► What is a Rate Buydown?

There are 2 types of rate buydowns: Permanent and Temporary. You are probably familiar with permanent buydowns where you pay an additional fee for a lower rate on your mortgage loan. Temporary buy downs also reduce the interest rate, but only for the early years of the loan. For example: a 2-1 buydown, lowers the interest rate by 2% in the first year of the loan, and then lowers it 1% in the 2nd year of the mortgage, hence 2-1 buydown.

→◉ Permanent vs Temporary Buydown Benefits

Permanent Buydown:

  • Pro: Life of loan rate discount providing peace of mind.
  • Con: The cost can take 3-6 yrs to recoup and realize the benefits. Refinancing early in the loan can create a situation where no savings were realized.

Temporary Buydown:

  • Pro: Significantly more savings in the first years of the mortgage. Unused funds can be applied back to principal reduction if you refinance.
  • Con: The rate reduction is temporary, determined by type, either 1-0, 2-1, or 3-2-1 buydown.
