First-Time Homebuyers Face the Opportunity of a Lifetime in Harrisburg

First-Time Homebuyers Face the Opportunity of a Lifetime in Harrisburg!  Mortgage rates in January stood near lows that were last seen during the Truman administration while home prices were well off their peaks of previous years. The combination made housing affordability, as measured by the National Association of REALTORS^®, the highest since NAR^® launched its Affordability Index in 1973.  

Housing inventory is also abundant in many markets, enabling first-time home buyers to secure good homes and pave the way to their financial futures. Indeed, homes and their long-term virtues of shelter, wealth-building, and personal and civic pride are available at bargain-basement prices that won't, or can't, last.

Naturally, first-time buyers have many questions about home buying, starting with costs. With research and the services of a licensed real estate professional, these consumers can demystify the process and place themselves on the fast track to homeownership.
