Tacoma Foreclosures
What is the best way to buy a house in Tacoma or Lakewood WA?
We are looking for to buy a house and .
There are so many agents and websites and prices listed.
Do we need to go through a real estate agent only?
Is there any Government agency which can help us find a cheap deal or should we contact banks if they have foreclosure properties.
Please guide us,we are confused on how to find a cheap deal.
Cheap does not always mean the best. HUD homes tend to have more problems that need to be fixed than other homes on the market. These homes tend to be more trouble than they are worth and you will not be able to move right in. The repairs can cost as much, if not more, than what you think you’re saving.
As for government programs, you might qualify for some special programs (for being a veteran, physically disabled, a Native American, etc). First time home buyers can get $8000 by filing an amendmened tax return.
Banks try to get full market value for the properties they foreclose on.
Many real estates companies have web sites that list all homes in the area. You can set limits as to price to throw out the ones you can not afford.
Look at travel time and traffic patterns from home to work, the school districts and crime rates. Sometimes it is worth paying a little more for better qualities on these.
