First-time homebuyers want to buy!!!!!!!!!!

More than three-quarters (78 percent) of potential first-time homebuyers say that now is a good time to buy a home, despite widespread concern about the economy, according to a Century 21 First-time Homebuyer Survey. Out of the 1,000 prospective U.S. first-time homebuyers surveyed in early March, 68 percent think now is a better time to buy than six months ago.

Prices are the driving motivation for potential first-time homebuyers with more than eight of ten first-time home buyers (85 percent) saying they consider current home prices affordable and 73 percent citing that taking advantage of current prices is a major factor in their decision to buy.

Existing Home Sales Up 5.1% in February

You must login or register in order to recommend this.

The number of existing homes sold in February unexpectedly rose last month, an industry trade organization said Monday.

According to the National Association of Realtors, the number of homes sold rose 5.1% to a seasonally-adjusted rate of 4.72 million units in February up from 4.49 million annualized units.

The jump in sales was much better than what economists had predicted, who were expecting existing home sales to fall to 4.45 million units. The data helped boost stocks broadly, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average up nearly 300 points.

As it has been for the past couple months, existing home sales were stronger in the West than the rest of the nation -- primarily in the struggling housing market of California. Existing home sales in the region were up 2.6% from a month ago to 1.2 million annualized units, and are up 30.4% from a year ago.

In the Northeast, sales rose 15.6% to an annualized rate of 740,000 units and are down 14.9% from a year ago. In the Midwest, sales were basically flat -- up 1% -- to 1.04 million units.

In the Southern market, existing home sales rose 6.1% to an annualized rate of 1.74 million units, according to the trade organization.
