Foreclosed Homes: Are They a Good Deal?
|
|
Despite the advertisements promoting foreclosed homes for low prices, most of them sell for what they are worth. Most well-maintained homes sell for close to their appraised value. The houses that sell for significantly lower prices often are in disrepair or in unstable communities.
In addition, foreclosed homes are sold "as is." They don't come with warranties, and sellers aren't required to disclose any problems. Buyers, particularly those who don't pay for a professional home inspector before closing on the deal, may find themselves mired in unanticipated repair bills.
