2-1 Buydown Program

Push back against rising rates with lower introductory terms
 

The 2-1 buydown is a strategy to help counteract the trend towards higher rates. When eligible clients opt for this program, they temporarily lower their interest rate during the first two years of the loan term by paying an upfront fee at closing. 2-1 Buydowns are available on conforming fixed products.
