Dear Clients
Homebuyer Survey Contains Valuable Information For Agents and Sellers, an article from Realty Times, reports that first-time homebuyers have accounted for 41% of the market in 2008. This is the highest rate since 2001, when it was 42%. First-time buyers don't have to sell a home before they buy, which makes the process a lot easier. Other factors to explain the increase include lower prices, lower interest rates and tax credit programs for first-time buyers. Six percent of homes purchased during the year had been foreclosed or are somewhere in the foreclosure process. This year, 69% of buyers said that they used the internet frequently during their search process - up from 60% last year. The internet was the first step in the home search process for 33% of buyers, while 17% contacted a real estate agent first. http://realtytimes.com/rtpages/20081212_homebuyer.htm
