What Is a Rate Buydown?
A rate buydown is a way to lower your mortgage payment for the first few years of your loan. Instead of paying the full interest rate right away, you get a temporary discount… and the best part? The cost is often covered by the seller or builder, making homeownership more affordable upfront.
Buydowns are especially helpful if you’re expecting your income to grow, planning to refinance, or just want to ease into homeownership more comfortably.
