What is a mortgage rate buydown?

A penalty for paying off a mortgage early
Financing usually offered by developers to help buyers
A decrease in mortgage interest rates market-wide
Insurance against future mortgage rate increases

The correct answer is: Financing usually offered by developers to help buyers

A mortgage rate buydown is a type of financing often offered by developers to entice buyers to purchase new homes. This option is incorrect because it doesn't accurately describe a mortgage rate buydown. Option A is incorrect because a penalty for paying off a mortgage early is known as a prepayment penalty, not a mortgage rate buydown. Option C is incorrect because a buydown only affects the interest rate on a specific mortgage, not the market as a whole. Option D is incorrect because insurance against future mortgage rate increases refers to a separate product known as a mortgage rate lock.
