Ivory Homes is heating up the summer with Sizzling Summer Deals, and one of the most exciting offers is a limited-time 2/1 buydown incentive that lowers your monthly payments during the first two years of your mortgage.


If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy, this could be it.





💸 What is a 2/1 Buydown?



A 2/1 buydown is a financing incentive where your interest rate stays fixed, but Ivory prepays a portion of your monthly mortgage payment for the first two years. This reduces the amount you owe each month without changing your locked-in interest rate.


With our offer:


  • Year 1: Your monthly payments are based on a rate of 3.49%

  • Year 2: Payments are based on a rate of 4.49%

  • Years 3–30: Payments are based on the actual note rate of 5.49%



The full interest rate is fixed at the time of closing. The buydown simply reduces your out-of-pocket monthly cost during the first two years.


📝 FHA 30-year fixed rate 2/1 buydown as low as 5.49%. Rate indicators as of 7/29/2025. Offer available on select homes when financed through Ivory’s preferred lender. Subject to credit approval. Rates are subject to change without notice.
