A repeat customer takes advantage of our exclusive
3-2-1 split seller/lender-funded buydown.

After my client understood the buydown choices, we teamed up with his real estate agent to kick things off. Even though the seller initially liked the 2-1 buydown, our client smartly spotted the perks of a 3-2-1 option, fitting perfectly with his three-year gig in Tennessee. By choosing the 3-2-1 buydown, he effectively mitigated concerns about future refinancing when the buydown period concludes and interest rates may be lower. Leveraging Premia's support, we successfully negotiated to share the cost with the seller, enabling our client to qualify for the preferred 3-2-1 buydown option.

Following eight consecutive weeks of declines, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose one basis point to 6.62% for the week ending January 4, according to Freddie Mac.
