What Does “Buy Down” Rate Mean?
Mortgage companies offer borrowers a range of rates and different costs to have those rates. For example, the lender's regular mortgage rate may be 6 percent with zero points. If the borrower wants a mortgage at 5.75 percent, the cost will be one point. If the borrower pays the one point to get the lower rate, that is called buying down the mortgage. It is possible to buy down the current, prevailing mortgage rate by a full percentage point or more if the borrower wants to.
