So, you are looking to get a home in East Tennessee, maybe the Smoky Mountains? Let us help with a little tip that you may find attractive! Read below about the 2-1 Buy down where you can enjoy an interest rate of 2% less during year 1 and 1% less during year 2 ... if you are a seller this may give you a great opportunity to attract a Buyer for your home!
What is the new Product? - "2-1 Buydown"
What is this exactly? - Sellers may offer a "Credit" for Buyers as an incentive to buy their property over others they may be considering. The Credit is equal to the interest charges for 2% of the rate in Year 1 of the loan and 1% of the Rate in year 2 ... the borrower's loan reverts to the NOTE Rate in Year 3.
Here's an Example - NOTE Rate might be 6.75%, the "2-1 Buydown" allows for a 4.75% in Year one of the loan, a 5.75% in year 2 and the full 6.75% starting in year 3
Who gets the benefit? - Everyone! A seller in the current market may be entertaining a price reduction or possibly in addition to a reduction may be looking for an incentive to attract a buyer. In addition or instead, a "2-1 Buydown" may provide a strong incentive to get this home sold!
Buyers Enjoy a reduction of their NOTE Rate by 2% in Year 1 and 1% in Year 2 (Lower House Payments!) After 2 years, it may be attractive to refinance the loan to keep a lower rate! A 2% Reduction on a $300,000 loan amount is approximately $6,000* in year 1 and almost $3,000 in year 2.
*Precise calculations will be provided for each actual loan scenario.
How do I present the proposal in an offer? - In Special Stipulations - "Seller to provide a credit in the amount of $X,XXX for the Buyer to obtain a 2-1 Buydown from Lender"
How do I determine the exact amount for my offer? - Contact Dennis, Seth or Corey to provide the precise amount for your specific client and offer. The amount is equivalent to the interest cost for 2% in year 1 and 1% in year 2 of the loan amount.
