Ease Into Homeownership with a 2/1 Buydown
When interest rates were at historic lows, a typical fixed rate mortgage loan was all most people needed. As of October 2022, rates have risen. Rates are at long-term averages; however, they are considerably higher than what we’ve experienced in recent years.
When facing higher interest rates, homeowners can expect higher monthly payments. The good news? Ross Mortgage has a loan program to help guide you into homeownership!
What is the 2/1 Buydown Program?
The Ross Mortgage 2/1 Buydown Program can help lower your monthly payments. With the buydown loan program, you will receive a 30-year fixed rate loan with an interest rate that is discounted 2% during the first year and 1% the second year.
Benefits and Specifics
With lower monthly payments, you can ease your way into your new home. The lower payments step up at the end of the first and second year then remain fixed for the remainder of the loan. A 2/1 Buydown comes with extra up-front costs that are often paid by the seller or builder.
Historically, rates can fluctuate. There may be a chance during the two year period where you can refinance into a lower rate and you will never see the higher starting rate.
