3-2-1 mortgage buy-down PROS and CONS

Рет қаралды 14,323

Everybody wants to pay a lower mortgage rate, but it comes with a cost. In today’s video, I'm going to define a 3-2-1 mortgage rate buydown and weigh the pros and cons of that kind of option. I touch on the upfront costs when people buy down their mortgage, consumer behavior with adjustable mortgage rates, why it’s important to stick to your home budget when perusing the housing market, and why a fixed-rate mortgage payment might be best for some prospective homebuyers.

I’ve been seeing a lot of marketing (as you’ve said) on 3-2-1 lately and it sounded too good to be true. I knew when I heard it that I had to get your take on this. Thanks for being a trusted voice on all things mortgages Matt! So glad I’m subscribed.

It seems like it's more and more common as home prices shot up so fast during and after covid and so far the rate hikes haven't caused any "crashes" like some people thought. It seems to be a good "deal" if you have a safe job and can afford the full payments and also take chance that after the 3rd year, rates go down.

Matt, great video brother, I’ve seen your vides and they’re class! My only question for you is, on the 2/1 buy-down and 3-2-1 buy-down it’s to my knowledge that the upfront cost stays inside of escrow, when / if you have the opportunity to refinance, the upfront amount goes towards a principal reduction at that point. That’s of course if the rates drop. Thought is, instead of charging points since we’re seeing a lot of that lately, they get a lower payment / rate temporarily and when the market shifts and rates drop. Keep on pushing the videos man. I started my channel not to long ago!

Hey Corbin! Yeah, it does stay in escrow. I made another video recently as I’ve grown to love the 2/1 buydown

With interest rate at 7.5% to 8.5% today With a 3 2 1 buy down or 2/1 buy down. If you purchase a $600,000 house today at 7.5 or 8% with a 5% down which is around $30,000. Which give you a loan at $570,000. The value of the house drop to 30% - 40%. Would the bank let you refinance? Obviously the bank can’t refinance your house if the value of the house is less that it appraised for.. My brother bought a house a $700,000 house many years ago with $100,000 down however, when the market crash his house is only worth around $350k-$400k. The bank wouldn’t let him refinanced - they can’t refinance since is house is worth less then what he’s paying for. With a 2/1 buydown - and today market - do you think we might be in that position at some point?

Let's say I do the 2-1 buy down. By year 3 when the rate goes back to normal, can't i just refinance? And possible work out a rate that I had in year 1 or 2?
