Combat High Interest Rates with a 3-2-1 Buydown Mortgage

Current mortgage interest rates may deter buying a new home in today’s market. But there are ways to combat these higher interest rates. One popular option is a 3-2-1 buydown mortgage. This loan option lowers your mortgage payment for the first three years of the loan.


Year 1: Loan interest is reduced by 3%

Year 2: Loan interest is reduced by 2%

Year 3: Loan interest is reduced by 1%

Year 4 - length of loan: Owner pays full interest



After the 3-year buydown period ends, the lender will charge the full interest rate for the remainder of the mortgage. By that time, mortgage rates may be lower. Ian Jouett (NMLS #320263), President of Louvier Mortgage Group, LLC (NMLS #1013945), suggests, “Currently, home interest rates are historically high. The 3-2-1 buydown mortgage is designed to allow you some relief during this time and then be able to refinance when lower interest rates occur.”


The 3-2-1 buydown mortgage option can also be used as a seller concession. By negotiating it into the contract, the seller can agree to pay for the added cost of this loan option. It can be a win-win for both the buyer and the seller.
