Benefits of buying a used home

The biggest benefit of buying a used home is that the price is considerably lower than a new home, so you could get a bigger or better-featured home at a better price.

In addition, when buying a used house, the procedures are faster, since in general the seller has all the documents in order and the only waiting time is for the purchase and sale procedures to be taken.

It is important to note that used houses are in better locations than new ones. This is because newly built homes are usually located in more remote areas where they are just beginning to develop. This will allow you to have more amenities such as better services, nearby establishments and public transport.

Although the size of a used house can sometimes be larger for a lower price, the materials may not be very modern and you may have to invest in remodeling. This can be an advantage since, by doing some remodeling, the house would be to your liking.

Consider that Infonavit also has the option to buy and improve a used home with the same loan, which can facilitate this point. Also think that if you choose a house with a good location and also make improvements in it, it will be revalued.
