OM DENNE EPISODE
Are temporary rate buydowns actually providing real relief for home buyers, or are they setting people up for failure years down the road?
In this episode of the Loans Elevated Podcast, we take a deep dive into 2-1 temporary buydowns—the go-to sales strategy for home builders and industry professionals trying to move inventory in today's rate environment. We break down how these buydowns work, the critical differences between temporary and permanent buydowns, and why keeping cash for closing costs might actually be a safer move.
Plus, we share our weekly mortgage market update, touch on fluctuating 30-year fixed rates, and react to online chatter surrounding Gen Z, homeownership accessibility, and rent vs. buy math.
