Finding and purchasing your perfect mobile home is a milestone- and can be overwhelming!. If you’re ready to move in to a near-new mobile home for much less than the price of a brand-new one, consider a REPO mobile home.
What is a REPO mobile home?
If a homeowner becomes unable to afford their home loans, the home will be put back on the market, often for 30% or more off the original price. A REPO mobile home is also referred to as a foreclosure or Real Estate Owned (REO). By knowing what to look for when shopping for a REPO mobile home, you can save a lot on homes that are often in near-perfect condition.
Why buy a REPO mobile home?
Price
Because these homes are often sold at auction, or for only principal price, they can be significantly less expensive than the price of a brand-new mobile home. Comparing prices, you may find that the price of a REPO mobile home is a fraction of a comparable new home with the same features.
Condition
Many homes are repossessed from first-time buyers, which often means that REPO homes on the market are quite new: some even just a few months old. Shopping for REPO mobile homes makes it possible to own an almost-new home for much less than a brand-new one. A newer home in great condition will have many features for comfort and continued value such as:
- Up-to-date Appliances
- Contemporary Design or Floor Plan
- Better Insulation and Weatherproofing
- Climate Control (Cooling and Heating)
Avoiding Hidden Costs
Because the bank who owns the mortgage will sell the home in “as-is” condition, it is essential to inspect the property before making an offer. Hiring someone to give a professional inspection is advisable to avoid problems down the road. A good inspection will check thoroughly:
- Structural Soundness
- Drainage
- Power lines/ Electrical System
- Sewage system
- Gas mains
If you know what to look for, buying a REPO mobile home can be your key to opening the door of your dream home.
