Unlock Financial Freedom with a Temporary Rate Buydown: Your Guide to Homebuying Flexibility
What is a Temporary Rate Buydown?
Homeownership is a big financial step, and the mortgage rate is a critical factor that can influence your long-term expenditure. But what if you could lower your rate temporarily? Enter the Temporary Rate Buydown—a tool that offers you a smoother, more affordable entry into your dream home.
Who Can Fund a Temporary Rate Buydown?
A Temporary Rate Buydown requires extra funds upfront to lower your initial mortgage payments. These funds can be provided by:
- The Seller: Through seller concessions during negotiations.
- The Realtor: A generous move to close the deal and help the buyer.
At United Home Mortgage Network, we're revolutionizing the space by offering a Lender-Paid 1-Year Temporary Rate Buydown for a limited period.
Types of Temporary Rate Buydowns
-
1-1 Temporary Rate Buydown: This option reduces your mortgage rate by 1% for the first year. This one-year reduction can provide a substantial reduction in your initial payments.
-
2-1 Temporary Rate Buydown: In the first year, the rate is reduced by 2%, and in the second year, it's reduced by 1%. This two-year period allows even more financial breathing space.
-
3-2-1 Temporary Rate Buydown: This is a three-year buydown that starts by reducing your mortgage rate by 3% in the first year, 2% in the second year, and 1% in the third year. This extended buydown can be particularly beneficial for those who anticipate increasing income over the next few years.
How Can a Temporary Rate Buydown Benefit You?

-
Easier Transition: Particularly beneficial for first-time homeowners who might face several other upfront costs.
