Did you buy your first home in 2008?

If you answered yes then you make up the largest and fastest growing category of homebuyers in the country.

If you did not buy that first home, but you're thinking about it - now is a great time to buy! Interest rates are still low - and with great loan programs like FHA Loans, you could be on your way to homeownership before you know it!

I did not realize that first time home buyers are such a large part of the market right now -- especially here in the Northeast. This is really great news because as these first time homebuyers buy their home, it allows those homeowners to move up, then the home they buy moves up too. So it seems the perfect jump start to get things moving across the board!

Hi, James! Thanks for reading and commenting! I totally agree with you - the time is right to buy that starter home, and then move up later!

Have a great day!

Maura, First time home buyers are a huge part of the market, and guess where their starting their search, right here on-line. Great post, and when their looking for a Realtor, they will find those who have provided information for them. Great information.

I had no idea the percentage of first time home buyers in comparison to others. What a great time to buy.

Buyers can also look at it as a great place to invest during these shakey times...plus they are taking advantage of the lowest interest rates we may see.
