first time buyers: Working With First Time Buyers Can Be So Rewarding - 05/31/11 11:45 PM
I find working with first time buyers rewarding. Today I was happy when a couple I was working with closed on the house they want to make their home.
This was a 4 bedroom raised ranch on a street with many mature trees. My client liked the peacefulness of the area.
The property was nicely landscaped, and I know this summer many hours will be spent in the enclosed porch and deck.
During the home buying process I also discovered we shared a passion for gardening so I know we will be swapping plants.
Yes watching the smiles on the faces … (5 comments)

first time buyers: First Time Buyer so you like to live dangerously ? - Well now you are on the edge. - 09/13/09 11:39 PM
Ms. First time buyer you spent the last several months looking at homes, actually you pretty much went through the entire inventory within your price range; foreclosures, single family homes, and townhouses yet you never pulled the trigger.
The $8000 tax credit for first time buyers was something you hoped to get; yes who doesn't like free money. News flash for you , it is now mid September and based on how long it is taking to close on a home I would say you are right on the edge.
No more opportunity to delay, you have come to the end … (13 comments)

first time buyers: First- Time Home Buyers Seminar in Wappingers Falls NY on July 11th - 07/06/09 11:00 PM
To be sure, there is not much good economic news these days. However, this is truly a unique time period for first-time homeowners. Home-ownership is more affordable because of the drop in home prices, the availability of short sales and REO properties and the fact that mortgage rates are still low.
One of the reasons cited for some of the current housing and mortgage problems facing the community is the lack of pre-buying education. This issue is being taken seriously by various organizations and more emphasis is being placed on counseling consumers prior to purchasing.
If you are considering purchasing your … (23 comments)

People buy homes for many reasons. 3 reasons that readily come to mind are:
A place to live and build happy memories As an investment; doing so now to hold until the market turns around I still hear some talk about buying to flip- a bit risky in the present market. I am sure you have heard over and over again that rates have not been this low in decades. The prices of homes have also dropped thus making homeownership more affordable. And the government has offered a tax credit of $8000 to first time buyers. There is a … (15 comments)

first time buyers: Another Source Of Help For First Time Buyers - 04/01/07 07:54 PM
New york State has the SONYMA program to assist New York State residents to purchase their first home. In Dutchess County there is also an organization that helps these first time buyers to achieve home ownership. I find that many of these buyers have a very hard time saving a down-payment or closing costs. Hudson River Housing is an organization which has several outreach programs. I am especially excited about the Home buying Club; this allows low or moderate income potential home owners to save over a ten month period at the end of which they could receive $5000 dollars in addition to their savings. The beauty … (7 comments)
