💡 Did You Know? You don’t always have to swallow today’s 6.75 % fixed rate. In this deep-dive of The Pulse and Perspective, host Peter D’Angelo shows how permanent discount-point buydowns and seller-funded 2-1 and 3-2-1 buydowns can shave hundreds off your payment—or front-load five-figure savings—on a $600 K purchase with 20 % down.

Inside the episode

• Permanent points decoded: 1 point drops the rate to 6.50 %, but you’ll need more than five years to break even.
• 2-1 buydown playbook: Pay like it’s 4.75 % in year 1 and 5.75 % in year 2—pocketing about $11,058 that the seller funds at closing.
• 3-2-1 turbo-boost: Start at 3.75 % and stack $21,742 in savings over the first three years.
• Concession math: With 20 % down you can tap up to $36 K (6 % of price) in seller credits—plenty to cover even an aggressive 3-2-1.
• Refi advantage: unused buydown funds slash your payoff if you refinance early.
• Watch for payment shock and tax reassessments once the subsidy wears off.

Whether you crave lower upfront payments or a long-term rate cut, Peter lays out the numbers, the risks, and negotiation tips you can take straight to the offer table.
