Want a Lower Rate Without the Extra Points and Fees? Here’s How

Unlock Lower Mortgage Payments in Your First Year

Buying a home is one of life’s most exciting milestones—but managing monthly payments can feel daunting, especially with rising mortgage rates. What if there were a way to reduce your payments during that all-important first year without adding extra costs?

That’s exactly what the Lender-Funded 1-Year Buydown Program offers. Imagine paying 1% less on your mortgage interest for the first 12 months—all at no added expense to you. It’s an innovative way to make homeownership more affordable and accessible.

How Does the 1-Year Buydown Program Work?

This program lowers your interest rate by 1% for the first year of your mortgage, significantly reducing your monthly payments. After the first 12 months, the loan adjusts to a fixed 30-year rate, providing the long-term stability of a traditional loan.

💰 Here’s an example:

  • If the market interest rate is 7%, your first year’s rate will be 6%.
  • After 12 months, your rate reverts to the fixed market rate of 7% for the remaining 29 years.

The best part? The lender fully funds the buydown. You don’t need to pay extra fees or points at closing—it’s truly a win-win!

Top Benefits of the 1-Year Buydown Program

  • ✅ No Out-of-Pocket Costs

Unlike conventional rate buydown programs, this one is fully funded by the lender—meaning zero added expense for you.

  • ✅ Lower Payments in Year 1

Enjoy a temporary reprieve, with lower monthly payments that keep more money in your pocket during your first year of homeownership.

  • ✅ Fixed-Rate Loan Stability

After year one, your rate locks in for the remaining 29 years, offering the security of a long-term fixed-rate mortgage—no surprises, no adjustments.

  • ✅ Flexibility to Refinance

If rates drop in the future, you have the freedom to refinance at no penalty, allowing you to leverage better rates as they become available.

  • ✅ More Financial Breathing Room

Lower payments in the first year mean extra cash you can spend on other priorities, like:

    • Home improvements or upgrades
    • New furniture or appliances
    • Moving expenses
    • Building your savings
