What is a repossessed house for sale?
First, let’s answer the very popular question: Is it a good idea to buy a foreclosed house?
This answer is not black or white. It can indeed be very advantageous to buy a foreclosed property when it is purchased below its market value.
That being said, such a purchase is not without risks. Repossessed houses for sale have no legal warranty of quality which makes the buyer vulnerable in the event of an apparent or hidden defect.
Should you buy a foreclosed property from Desjardins?
It's case by case basis. Some properties you find online are great bargains, and others are trouble spots to avoid. To make a good choice, we recommend that you shop around with the help of a real estate broker. With a broker’s experience, he will be able to guide you and help you make a smart choice.
Advantages and disadvantages of a repossession in Quebec
A repossession, whether for sale by Desjardins or another mortgage lender, comes with advantages and disadvantages.
Even though they are sold through real estate brokers, the information available about foreclosed homes is often lacking. This means that the buyer has very little to base his decision on.
On the other hand, Desjardins and other banks are ready to sell their repossessed properties at prices below their real market value. They want a quick sale that pays off the customer’s mortgage balance.
Advantages
- Selling price below market value
- Quick and flexible takeover
- Potential for significant profits
Disadvantages
- No legal warranty of quality
- At the buyer’s risk
- Not enough information about the property
Here is a summary of the pros and cons to consider:
