Ready to Buy a New Home in the Denver Area—But Concerned About Interest Rates?

You're not alone. If interest rates are making you hesitate, Terrace TownHomes has solutions to help you move forward confidently. We’ve teamed up with our mortgage companies to offer loan programs and buyer incentives designed to ease the burden. Our Interest Rate Fighter programs are a total knockout for homebuyers!


We’re in Your Corner

We understand the financial challenges in today’s market. That’s why Terrace TownHomes, through our mortgage companies, provides multiple paths to homeownership, including rate buydowns, adjustable-rate loans, down payment assistance, and programs for everyday heroes. 


Save Big with the 2-1 Buy Down

A 2-1 Buy Down is a great way to ease into a 30-year fixed mortgage. Here’s how it works:

Year 1: Your interest rate is reduced by 2%

Year 2: Your interest rate is reduced by 1%

Year 3 onward: You pay your locked-in rate for the remainder of the loan


Prefer Flexibility? Consider the 5-1 Adjustable Rate Loan

If you don’t plan to stay in your home long-term, a 5-1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) might be ideal.

This loan gives you a lower, fixed rate for the first 5 years.

EXAMPLE

Years 1–5: Fixed rate 

Year 6 onward: Rate adjusts annually, capped at:

1% per year

5% over the life of the loan

Perfect for buyers planning to move or refinance within 5 years.


Fixed-Rate Loans with Low Down Payments

  • FHA Loans: Just 3.5% down and competitive interest rates—great for first-time buyers
  • CHFA Programs: Special financing and incentives for first-time Colorado homebuyers
  • VA Loans

No down payment

Lower-than-market interest rates

30-year fixed rate

Get 1% of your loan amount as a closing cost credit

That’s $6,000 on a $600,000 loan!

Same 1% closing cost credit for teachers and school staff
