🏡 LOWER THE PRICE… OR LOWER THE RATE?
When buying a home, a price reduction may sound like the best way to lower your monthly payment—but the interest rate can have a much bigger impact.
Take 75888 Saffron Lane in Tributary as an example:
🏠 $379,000 at 7.19% → Est. $3,550/month
💰 Drop the price by $15,000 to $364,000 → Est. $3,449/month
That’s only about $101/month in savings.
📉 Keep the price at $379,000 and buy the rate down to 5.00% → Est. $3,014/month
That’s about $536/month in savings compared with the 7.19% example.
Sometimes negotiating toward a seller credit or rate buydown can affect your monthly budget much more than simply negotiating the purchase price down.
And you get to enjoy everything Tributary has to offer—resort-style pool & clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball, recreation areas and beautiful outdoor spaces. 🌴🏊♀️🏓
