🥳Happy 2023!🥳
🏡A new year brings new opportunities! Due to a changing housing market, a great money saving opportunity for home buyers this year will be "TEMPORARY BUYDOWNS".
🏡A 2-1 temporary buydown is a program where your interest rate is reduced for the first two years of your home loan. Your interest rate returns to its original rate on the third year. The awesome opportunity in a temporary buydown is that it can by paid by the Seller or Builder!
🏡In today's housing market, we are seeing prices coming down and Seller's willingness to cover the buyer's closing cost. Instead of asking a the Seller for a price reduction, ask them for a temporary buydown.
🏡For example; if you are purchasing a home priced at $450K with a 6.125% interest rate, a $10K price reduction will only save you on your monthly mortgage $57.73/month or $1,385.52 after two years.
🏡INSTEAD, ask the seller contribute the same amount toward a buydown. You will save $9,546.24 on your monthly payment over 2 years! Almost a 7X savings difference compared to the price reduction!
🏡Sellers can take advantage of temporary buydowns too. As the market cools, this is a great way to market their home to get plenty of interested buyers.
🏡Benefits of a buydown:
⭐Helps Buyers ease into their payments
⭐BIG savings for the buyer
⭐Can be paid by Sellers, Builders, or interested party
⭐Great Marketing Tool for Sellers to sell their property
⭐Available for Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans
