A 2/1 rate buy-down is a mortgage financing option where the seller pays a fee to the lender to reduce the buyer's interest rate for the first two years of the loan. In the first year, the interest rate is reduced by 2%, and in the second year, it is reduced by 1%, making monthly payments more affordable during the initial years of homeownership.
