A buydown is a way to reduce the interest rate on a mortgage for a period of time, usually by paying an upfront cost at closing. That cost can sometimes be paid by the buyer, seller, builder, or another eligible party, depending on the loan and transaction.
Buydowns can help lower the monthly payment early in the loan, but the right structure depends on the financing, the property, and your overall plan. If you want to see whether one could make sense for your situation, send me a message and we can talk through the options.
