First time Home Buyers, Where are they?<\/p><\/div>\n

Fewer first time home buyers<\/strong> are jumping into the housing market nowadays, accounting for 34 percent of all buyers in July. While that percentage has inched up slightly as of late, it still remains far from the 40 percent levels first-time home buyers generally account for in the housing market, according to the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae.<\/p>\n

With ultra low mortgage rates and high housing affordability,\u00a0first time home buyers<\/em> may never have a better time to jump into the housing market. But several factors are keeping them on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest obstacles? Saving for the down payment, according to recent home buyer surveys. The second-biggest hurdle cited was poor credit history, which was making it difficult for first-timers to qualify for a mortgage. A high unemployment rate among younger adults \u2014 who often make up the biggest group of first-timers \u2014 is also holding many back. Also, first time home buyers<\/span>, who need financing for their home purchase, are increasingly losing out to investors who are willing to pay entirely in cash.<\/p>\n

Housing experts say that\u00a0first time home buyers are a critical component for a sustainable housing recovery.<\/h3>\n

\u201cFirst time home buyers are vital to boosting sales, especially during downturns, since when they buy a home, they aren\u2019t also selling a previous home to finance the purchase,\u201d according to MarketWatch.<\/p>\n
