Freddie Mac is offering eligible buyers up to $1,500 for condominium association dues. The government-sponsored enterprise said the incentive is for condos available through its HomeSteps unit, on the market for at least 120 days and sold to owner-occupants. Buyers can apply for Freddie’s Condo Cash offer between Monday and Nov. 15, and must close before Dec. 30. The GSE offers a two-year limited home warranty covering electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, heating and other major systems. Freddie Mac also extends discounts of up to 30% on appliances for a new buyer. In May, Freddie began offering up to 3.5% buyer’s closing cost assistance, as a way to help drive sales higher through the summer selling season. Write to Jason Philyaw.
