Home buyers today have many choices they can buy a foreclosure, a short sale or a used home.  They can also choose to build a new home; with this there are many more choices to make which I will cover later in this article.  Each has some advantages but some may have some major hidden costs involved let’s look at each one and see what you decide at the end.

Buying a short sale or foreclosure sounds like a bargain, let’s look a little closer.  The National average to bring a Foreclosure back to good condition is $107,600.  These is not counting the selling price of the property and keep in mind that many of these homes are in high crime areas, which will affect the future value of the home.  To be a bargain these must really be cheap and all are sold “as is”.  Short Sales are complicated in another way as well.  The list price of a short sale is just a guess on the Realtor’s part as the bank won’t in most cases disclose what they will accept for the home.   Getting an offer accepted is another issue altogether.  Many homes in short sale have multiple offers and the bank drags it out as long as a year to get the most favorable offer.  You can be tied up for 2 to 12 months waiting and find out the house was sold to another buyer.
