The "2-1 Buydown": The Secret Weapon for Franktown Sellers

Interest rates are the biggest hurdle for buyers in Franktown right now. Smart sellers are overcoming this by offering a 2-1 Buydown.

  • Year 1: The buyer's rate is 2% lower than market.

  • Year 3: It settles to the fixed note rate.

This eases the buyer into the mortgage and makes your home stand out against the competition—without slashing your listing price. Learn more about payment strategies here.
