Do you want to buy a home with a fixed rate mortgage, but wish you could take advantage of the low introductory rate of an adjustable rate mortgage?
Through our 2-1 Temporary Buydown Program, you can buy a home with a fixed rate loan that features lower effective interest during the initial years.
That means that you get benefits similar to what you would with an ARM, without the drawbacks.

Today's Mortgage RatesHow the 2-1 Temporary Buydown Program Works
The 2-1 Temporary Buydown Program lets you purchase a home with a fixed rate mortgage, but pay less on interest during the first two years.
- Your effective interest rate during the first year is up to 2% lower than the full rate.
- Your effective interest rate during the second year is up to 1% lower than the full rate.
- From year three onward, you pay the full fixed rate on your loan.
If you qualify for the 2-1 Temporary Buydown Program, you will have a buydown account. Seller concessions go into that account as a lump sum. Every month, money comes out of that account to offset your interest rate as described above.
Benefits of the 2-1 Temporary Buydown Program
- Pay a reduced interest rate starting out, similar to how you would pay a low introductory rate on an adjustable rate mortgage.
- Unlike an adjustable rate mortgage, this mortgage will not potentially balloon at the end of the first two years. You will simply start paying the full, fixed rate. That means you have more stability and predictability than an ARM would offer.
- You can put the money you save during the first couple of years toward home repairs or upgrades, investments, or other purposes.
- If you are earning a lower income now than you expect to in a few years, the 2-1 Temporary Buydown Program can help you keep your finances more liquid while you are waiting for your pay to increase.
