As a local Salida realtor and your go-to expert on Colorado mountain homes, I’m here to explain this in everyday terms so you can walk away feeling confident and empowered.

👉 A 2/1 buydown is a temporary interest rate reduction strategy that can lower your mortgage payment for the first two years of your loan. In year 1, your interest rate is reduced by 2%. In year 2, it's reduced by 1%. After that, your loan reverts to the original fixed rate. It’s a great way to ease into your mortgage payments—and yes, it could save you thousands of dollars in those crucial early years!
