Buydowns–Save HUNDREDS Monthly on Your Mortgage

What goes around comes around. As interest rates continue to rise, mortgage buydowns are back! Use a 3/2/1 or 2/1 buydown to save big money on your monthly mortgage payment for the first few years of your home loan! Buydowns are a powerful financing tool for both buyers and sellers in real estate transactions. A buydown can benefit a buyer because it lowers the buyer’s monthly mortgage payment by hundreds of dollars each month for the first three years, two years or first year of ownership, essentially buying the buyer time until interest rates are lower and the buyer can refinance. Buydowns can work in a seller’s favor, too! A buydown can be used as an incentive to make your house stand out from the competition and bring you the offer you’ve been waiting for. Join Pete Johnson, mortgage lender with GreenState Credit Union, and me as we discuss the details of buydowns, what they are, how they work, why you may want one, and compare the numbers for a standard mortgage loan to one with one with points and one with a 2/1 buydown.
