Potential homebuyers are being inundated with news of rising bond rates and mortgage rates. Do they know that nearly EVERY Metro Phoenix Area homebuilder is buying down rates for buyers today?


You can see the effect of rising rates in incentives. August data is revealing. The average inventory home incentive was $60,715 (it is even higher today, as we will report in our early October Pulse report), up 25% from March. The value of the incentives is not higher because builders are offering more. The rate is higher because the cost of buying the market rate down grows when market rates rise.


Builders are enabling more buyers to purchase, making home payment more affordable, by prepaying interest for homebuyers.
