Start With Lower Monthly Payments
A 1-0 buydown can give qualified homebuyers temporary payment relief during the first year of their mortgage. The arrangement reduces the effective interest rate by 1% during the initial year before returning to the original note rate. This can make the early stage of homeownership more manageable while allowing buyers to plan for the regular payment ahead.
Start With Lower Monthly Payments
A 1-0 buydown provides a short-term reduction in the mortgage payment without permanently changing the underlying interest rate. During the first year, the borrower benefits from a payment based on a rate that is 1% lower than the original rate. After that introductory period, the payment returns to the amount based on the note rate.
Make the Transition Into Homeownership Easier
Lower payments during the first year can provide extra room in a homeowner’s monthly budget. This may be helpful when managing moving expenses, household purchases, or other costs that come with buying a home.
The temporary reduction can also give borrowers time to adjust to their new housing expenses. Having a year to prepare for the regular payment can make the transition into homeownership feel more manageable.

A Practical Short-Term Payment Strategy
A 1-0 buydown can be an attractive option for buyers who want temporary savings during the first year of their mortgage. Rather than permanently lowering the interest rate, the program focuses on making the initial payment period more affordable.
The cost and availability of a buydown can vary depending on the loan program and transaction. A mortgage professional can explain the terms, review your financial situation, and help determine whether a 1-0 buydown makes sense for your home purchase.
