Financing Structures and Promotional Buydowns

To address affordability amid fluctuating borrowing costs, the builder’s published material details promotional financing options, notably a 3-2-1 buydown structure tied to a 30-year VA loan example. This model applies to eligible buyers with full entitlement and zero down payment, utilizing a fixed note rate of 6.5 percent.

Under the advertised 3-2-1 buydown terms, the buyer’s principal and interest payment is reduced during the first three years while the underlying note rate remains fixed. Payments are calculated at three percentage points below the note rate in year one, two points below in year two, and one point below in year three, before full note-rate payments take effect in year four.

The calculations incorporate specific financial adjustments. The model uses an 8.661 percent combined 3-2-1 buydown cost and an assumed 2.15 percent VA funding fee financed directly into the loan. It also includes an $8,000 closing-cost allowance modeled through a higher contract price and seller credits, subject to lender approval and appraisal support. Advertised estimates incorporate monthly homeowners insurance estimated at $180, alongside local property taxes derived from community mill levies and applicable HOA or metro district charges.
