Sell Like the Builders

Lower the payment—not the asking price.

Below-market first-year rate
Use a temporary 2-1 buydown to improve the buyer's early payments.
2-1 temporary buydown
Example: 4.5% year one, 5.5% year two, then the 6.5% note rate.
Shared eligible cost
The Scott Evans Team contributes 1% toward an eligible 2% seller-paid buydown.
Full-price-offer guardrail
The seller incentive is required only if a full asking-price offer is achieved; other offers remain negotiable.

Price reduction vs. 2-1 buydown

A temporary buydown changes the buyer's payment during the first two years while preserving the contract price. It is one strategy—not a promise or recommendation for every seller.

Price reduction

To lower the payment through price alone, the seller reduces the purchase price. That can require a larger concession and reset buyer expectations.

2-1 buydown example

	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3+
Illustrative rate	4.5%	5.5%	6.5%
Payment impact	Lowest	Middle	Note rate
Contract price	Preserved	Preserved	Preserved

What the strategy can do

Lower initial payments for an eligible buyer.
Create another way to market the listing.
Preserve the seller's stated contract price.
