Put your 2-1 Buydown loan to work for you

The 2/1 Buydown, also known as a Temporary Buydown, offers several key advantages and features. Firstly, the seller must finance the buydown; the funds are placed in an escrow account at closing and paid monthly to the lender. Should you refinance before the buydown period ends, any remaining funds are refunded, providing an edge over permanent buydowns, which often take years to reach a break-even point. This strategy is particularly effective when seller concessions exceed closing costs, although these contributions cannot be applied to the down payment. Buydown options include:


  • The 3-2-1 Buydown, reducing rates by 3% in the first year, 2% in the second, 1% in the third, leading to the fixed rate in the fourth year.
  • The 2-1 Buydown, offering a 2% reduction in the first year and 1% in the second, before moving to the fixed rate in the third year.
  • The popular 1-1 Buydown, with a 1% reduction in the first year, followed by the fixed rate in the second year.
