What Is a 1-0 Temporary Buydown?

A 1-0 buydown is a type of mortgage financing option that can be beneficial for both buyers and sellers in a real estate transaction. In a 1-0 buydown, the lender agrees to temporarily lower the interest rate on the mortgage for the first year of the loan, effectively reducing the buyer's monthly mortgage payment. This can make the home more affordable for the buyer, especially if they are on a tight budget or have other financial obligations.

One way a 1-0 buydown can be financed is through seller concessions. In this case, the seller of the property agrees to pay a portion of the cost of the buydown as a way to make the home more attractive to potential buyers. This can be a win-win situation for both the buyer and the seller. The buyer benefits from the lower mortgage payments and the seller is able to sell their property more quickly and at a higher price.

Another benefit of a 1-0 buydown financed with seller concessions is that it can be a way for the seller to stand out in a competitive market. By offering to pay a portion of the buydown, the seller can make their home more attractive to potential buyers and increase their chances of selling quickly.

It's important to note that when a seller provides concessions to a buyer, the amount of concessions can affect the overall purchase price, and can be also restricted by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
​
In conclusion, a 1-0 buydown financed with seller concessions can be a great option for both buyers and sellers in a real estate transaction. It can make the home more affordable for the buyer and increase the chances of a quick sale for the seller. This is a strategy that can be used for specific market conditions, with the help of a mortgage professional like Road to Home Mortgage if it fits your particular case!
