You’ve probably seen rates as low as 4.99% floating around—but here’s what most people don’t realize:Those rates are often part of temporary buydowns, like 2-1 programs, that last just a year or two before the rate jumps back up.
Let’s break it down:🏠 A 2-1 buydown might look good upfront, but you’re spending thousands to rent a discount that disappears.📉 A permanent buydown, on the other hand, reduces your rate for the entire life of the loan.
✅ It’s safer.
