A 2-1 buydown is a great way to incentivize buyers and market your client's property without price reductions. This offer can be attractive to buyers who are interested in reducing their monthly mortgage payments, even if it's only temporary.
Before their home sale is closed, your client will be asked to pay a one-time fee to contribute to the concession. The 2-1 buydown gives the buyer a 2% reduction in their effective interest rate the first year and a 1% reduction the second. Your clients fee at closing is the difference between the buyer's reduced payment amounts and their regular mortgage payment.
