Freddie Mac’s HomeSteps unit is offering cash to buyers willing to purchase one of its foreclosed condos that has been lingering on the market. HomeSteps is hoping to unload some of its high inventory of foreclosed condos through the incentive program, known as HomeSteps Condo Cash.
Through the “Condo Cash” program, condo buyers of HomeSteps properties can get up to $1,500 to help pay for standard home owner association dues.
The offer is only valid to owner-occupant buyers and on HomeStep condos that have been on the market for at least 120 days. To participate, buyers must submit offers between Aug. 15 and Nov. 15, and close escrow by Dec. 30.
Some of the homes also come with a two-year Home Protect home warranty to cover electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, heating, and other major appliances and systems. Home Protect also is offering up to 30 percent discounts on the purchase of new appliances (see www.HomeSteps.com/smartbuy for more information).
