Declining Trend in First Time Home Buyers? - Take a Look at the Chart

From ZeroHedge.com comes an article regarding the declining trend in first time home buyers. You can access the article HERE.

A chart is included from Bank of America, which documents the decline. The article goes on to identify the large role that investors are playing in the current housing market (although I can tell you that we have noticed a significant decline in investor purchases in Metro Phoenix Arizona).

The author also discusses the role that student debt may be playing, in limiting home purchases.

Hi Eric, declining trend in 1st time home buyers, because it is difficult to be qualified for loans to purchase their dream home.

Eric, not only do I think record debt is holding people back from the opportunity to buy homes, but also the lack of any savings for a down payment. Most of the younger generation like to buy what they want now, and don't like to save up for anything. Therefore, they have no savings. Couple that with their debt, and many having lower paying jobs, and that all makes it very difficult for them to buy a home.
