Your payment is calculated as if your interest rate were 2 percentage points lower in the first year and 1 percentage point lower in the second. Starting in year three, you make the full payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Your actual mortgage interest rate, called the <strong>note rate<\/strong>, doesn&#8217;t change. Instead, money is set aside at closing, usually by the seller or builder, to cover the difference between your reduced payment and the full amount due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s how your payments change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Period<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Your principal and interest payment is calculated using<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Difference funded by<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Months 1\u201312<\/td><td>Note rate minus 2 percentage points<\/td><td>Buydown account<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Months 13\u201324<\/td><td>Note rate minus 1 percentage point<\/td><td>Buydown account<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Month 25 onward<\/td><td>Full note rate<\/td><td>Buydown ends; you pay the full amount<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Your payment increases twice: once at the start of year two and again at the start of year three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that the buydown only reduces your principal and interest payment. Property taxes, homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance aren&#8217;t reduced. And if you have a fixed-rate mortgage, your actual interest rate stays the same throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Under <a href=\"https:\/\/selling-guide.fanniemae.com\/sel\/b2-1.4-04\/temporary-interest-rate-buydowns\">Fannie Mae&#8217;s rules<\/a>, your mortgage documents must reflect the permanent loan terms, not the temporarily reduced payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/mortgage\/app\/preapproval\">Get started now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How much does a 2-1 buydown cost, and who pays?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">TThe cost of a 2-1 buydown is the total amount needed to cover your reduced payments over the first 24 months. <strong>About two-thirds of that money is used in year one<\/strong>, when your payments are lowest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">To find out how much a buydown would cost for your mortgage, ask your lender for your full monthly principal and interest payment, your first-year payment and your second-year payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Then calculate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Year one:<\/strong> (Full payment \u2212 first-year payment) \u00d7 12.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Year two:<\/strong> (Full payment \u2212 second-year payment) \u00d7 12.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Total:<\/strong> Add the two amounts together.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Sellers and builders often cover this cost as an incentive to help you buy the home. However, mortgage programs limit how much they can contribute toward your financing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s how those limits generally work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Conventional loans (Fannie Mae):<\/strong> The limit is typically 3%, 6% or 9% of the lower of the purchase price or appraised value, depending on your down payment and how you&#8217;ll use the home. <a href=\"https:\/\/selling-guide.fanniemae.com\/sel\/b3-4.1-02\/interested-party-contributions-ipcs\">Fannie Mae guidelines<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FHA loans:<\/strong> Sellers can generally contribute up to 6% of the sales price, including the cost of a temporary buydown. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/OCHCO\/documents\/40001-hsgh-Update-17.pdf\">HUD guidelines<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>VA loans:<\/strong> Seller- or builder-funded buydowns count toward the 4% seller-concession limit, based on the home&#8217;s reasonable value. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benefits.va.gov\/homeloans\/temporary-buydown.asp\">VA guidelines<\/a>.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Because the buydown uses part of that allowance, the seller may have less money available to help with your other closing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s worth comparing a buydown with other ways to use <a href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/blog\/what-are-seller-credits\/\">seller credits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is a 2-1 buydown worth it? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The easiest way to decide whether a buydown is worth it is to look at what else you could do with that money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Ask how much the buydown costs, then compare what the <strong>same seller contribution<\/strong> could do as a price reduction, closing-cost credit or discount points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Versus a price reduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s assume the seller is willing to reduce the home&#8217;s price by the same amount the buydown would cost, and you bring the same cash to closing. With the price reduction, that money comes directly off your loan balance. You borrow less from day one and pay less interest over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Under those assumptions, the price reduction saves you more money overall, regardless of when you pay off the mortgage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The advantage of a buydown is timing. Instead of spreading smaller savings across the life of your loan, you get much lower payments during the first two years. That can be especially helpful if you&#8217;re trying to keep your monthly expenses manageable right after buying a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Versus a closing-cost credit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A closing-cost credit reduces the amount of money you need to bring to closing, rather than lowering your monthly payment. That means you can keep more of your savings available for emergencies, repairs or other expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">There are limits, though. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/selling-guide.fanniemae.com\/sel\/b3-4.1-02\/interested-party-contributions-ipcs\">Fannie Mae guidelines<\/a>, seller credits that exceed your eligible closing costs are treated as sales concessions when calculating your loan terms. They don&#8217;t automatically reduce the price in your purchase contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Versus discount points<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/blog\/what-are-mortgage-interest-rate-points-and-how-to-save-money-on-your-mortgage\/\">Discount points<\/a> let you pay an upfront cost to secure a lower mortgage interest rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike a temporary buydown, discount points lower your actual rate. On a fixed-rate mortgage, that lower rate stays in place for the life of your loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">To compare the options, ask your lender for written quotes. You can estimate how long it takes for discount points to pay for themselves by dividing their upfront cost by your monthly savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Don&#8217;t rely on APR alone when comparing temporary buydowns.<\/strong> APR includes your interest rate and certain loan costs, but it doesn&#8217;t always account for temporary payment reductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerfinance.gov\/rules-policy\/regulations\/1026\/17\/\">Regulation Z<\/a>, a third-party buydown arranged outside your mortgage contract isn&#8217;t reflected in the disclosed APR or payment schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Ask your lender for a separate schedule showing what you&#8217;ll actually pay during the buydown period, alongside your Loan Estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What if you refinance or sell early?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If you refinance or sell before the buydown ends, there may still be money left in the account. What happens to that money depends on your loan program and the terms of your buydown agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Under <a href=\"https:\/\/selling-guide.fanniemae.com\/sel\/b2-1.4-04\/temporary-interest-rate-buydowns\">Fannie Mae guidelines<\/a>, unused funds may go toward paying off your mortgage or be returned to you or the funding lender, depending on the agreement. For VA loans, the remaining money must go toward the outstanding loan balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Before accepting a buydown, ask your lender what happens to any unused funds if you decide to refinance or sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Tomo Mortgage&#8217;s First Year Buydown differs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Tomo Mortgage offers a slightly different option called the <strong>First Year Buydown<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a 1-0 buydown rather than a 2-1, which means your payments are reduced for one year instead of two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s how it works: Tomo Mortgage sets aside money at closing to cover the difference between your regular payment and a payment calculated as if your interest rate were 1 percentage point lower. For the first 12 months, you make the reduced payment. Starting in month 13, you pay the full amount based on your original mortgage rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll still need to qualify for the loan using that full payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Seller-funded 2-1<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Tomo Mortgage-funded 1-0<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reduced payments<\/td><td>24 months<\/td><td>12 months<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Payment calculation<\/td><td>2 points lower, then 1<\/td><td>1 point lower in year one<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Who provides funds<\/td><td>Seller or builder<\/td><td>Tomo Mortgage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Seller credit allowance<\/td><td>Uses applicable allowance<\/td><td>Seller credits remain available; confirm for your loan<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Tomo Mortgage covers the cost of its First Year Buydown, rather than requiring a contribution from you or the seller.

That extra breathing room can help with moving costs, repairs or other expenses. Before deciding, compare the buydown with what the same money could do as a price reduction or closing-cost credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How much does a 2-1 buydown cost?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The cost depends on your loan amount and mortgage rate. It&#8217;s calculated by adding up the difference between your full monthly principal and interest payment and your reduced payments over the first 24 months. Roughly two-thirds of the cost goes toward year one. Your lender can provide the exact amount, including how much the seller or another party would need to contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you negotiate a 2-1 buydown?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Start by asking the seller or builder to cover the buydown as part of your purchase agreement. You can also ask whether they&#8217;d offer the same amount as a price reduction or closing-cost credit instead. Your lender can help you compare the options and confirm that the contribution falls within your loan program&#8217;s seller concession limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is a 3-2-1 buydown worth it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A<a href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/blog\/what-is-a-3-2-1-buydown\/\"> 3-2-1 buydown<\/a> lowers your payments for three years instead of two. Your payment is calculated using a rate 3 percentage points below your note rate in year one, 2 points below in year two and 1 point below in year three. It provides longer relief but costs more to fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you qualify at the lower rate with a 2-1 buydown?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, no. Under Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and VA rules, lenders evaluate your application using the full note-rate payment, not the temporarily reduced payment. That means a 2-1 buydown generally won&#8217;t help you qualify for a larger loan. You&#8217;ll still need to show you can afford the payment you&#8217;ll make once the buydown ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is a 2-1 buydown an adjustable-rate mortgage?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">No. A 2-1 buydown is a temporary payment arrangement, not a type of adjustable-rate mortgage. With a fixed-rate loan, your actual mortgage interest rate stays the same throughout the loan. Money from the buydown account simply covers part of your payment for the first two years.
