Slash Your Rate, Boost Your Budget
The
FAIRWAY Budget Booster Program
Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make… and in today’s market, every dollar matters. That’s why Fairway created the Budget Booster Program, designed to give our conventional loan homebuyers a half-percent (.50%) interest rate reduction during the first 12 months of their mortgage.
This isn’t just a short-term perk—it’s a smart financial strategy that puts money back in your pocket when it matters most.
Why the First Year Matters So Much
The first year of homeownership often brings extra expenses:
- New furniture for that empty living room.
- Fresh paint, landscaping, or small renovations.
- Higher utility bills than you expected.
Those costs add up quickly. With the FAIRWAY Budget Booster, your monthly mortgage payment is lower in year one, freeing up extra cash to handle those real-life expenses without stretching your budget to the breaking point.
It’s about creating breathing room when you need it most.
How It Works
The math is simple but powerful:
- On a $350,000 loan, a .50% rate discount could save you around $145 per month in the first year.
- That’s over $1,700 saved in year one.
Instead of pouring that money into higher payments, you keep it to cover moving costs, savings goals, or simply to enjoy your new home with less financial stress.
Benefits Beyond the Savings
The FAIRWAY Budget Booster isn’t just about the dollars saved—it’s about the opportunities created.
- Flexibility for Families
Families often face higher expenses during transitions. A lower payment cushion can help parents budget for school supplies, sports fees, or unexpected costs. - Confidence for First-Time Buyers
Walking into a mortgage can feel intimidating. This program eases that pressure, giving first-time buyers a smoother on-ramp into homeownership. - Breathing Room for Investors
For buyers adding a property to their portfolio, the Budget Booster strengthens cash flow in year one, making investments more manageable.
Short-Term Discount, Long-Term Gain
Some people ask, “But doesn’t the rate go back up after 12 months?” Yes, it does. After the first year, your loan reverts to the original locked-in interest rate.
Here’s the key: you’re not paying extra later to make up for the savings. It’s a straight one-year benefit, giving you an advantage without hidden trade-offs.
Think of it like running downhill for the first mile of a marathon—you’re conserving energy early so you can go the distance with confidence.
Why Now Is the Time
This program isn’t open forever. To qualify, your loan must:
- Be a conventional loan.
- Be locked in by November 18, 2025.
That’s a firm deadline. Once it’s passed, the window closes. Acting early ensures you can take advantage of this rate reduction before it’s gone.
Who Should Consider the Budget Booster?
- Young professionals buying their first home and juggling student loans.
- Growing families upgrading to more space while watching every penny.
- Homeowners refinancing to lower costs and regain monthly flexibility.
If you’re serious about buying or refinancing this year, this program was designed with you in mind.
A Real-Life Example
Let’s say Sarah and Mike are first-time buyers in Lancaster, PA. They find a home they love with a $325,000 loan amount. At their locked-in interest rate, their mortgage payment would normally be $2,000 per month.
With the Budget Booster, their first 12 payments drop to around $1,855. That extra $145 per month allows them to furnish their new nursery, start an emergency savings fund, and still enjoy a few date nights without feeling strapped.
When year two begins, they’re settled, comfortable, and financially prepared to take on the normal mortgage payment.
That’s the advantage of starting strong.
Final Word: Don’t Miss Out
In the world of real estate, timing is everything. The FAIRWAY Budget Booster Program is one of those rare opportunities that can make your first year in a new home feel lighter, smarter, and more manageable.
But remember—it’s only available for conventional loans locked before November 18, 2025.
If you’re on the fence about buying or refinancing, this is your moment to move with confidence. Slash your rate, boost your budget, and step into homeownership with breathing room built in.
