MARKET INSIGHT

The simple truth is: most first-time buyers don’t put 20% down. And if you’ve been waiting to buy until you have that saved, you may be setting a timeline that’s longer than necessary.
To find out what you really need to save and if you qualify for any help, connect with a trusted lender who can walk you through your options. You may be able to buy sooner than you thought.

Not every house is selling for over asking anymore.
In fact, it’s down to about 1 in 4 homes today, compared to nearly half in 2021.
And that's a good sign for buyers. It means the market is getting back to normal.
Now, this is going to vary by area. But overall, it means you may find sellers with more wiggle room on their price today. And in a lot of places, negotiation is back on the table.
Let’s make the most of it.

First-time buyers may be starting to catch a bit of a break – and this list shows where.
Zillow just ranked the top 10 markets for first-time buyers this Spring.
And these metros made the list because there are more homes to choose from. There’s slower price growth. And wages are rising in these areas.
That combination is what’s opening the door for some buyers, even with higher mortgage rates.
But what about your city? Even if your metro isn’t on this list, don’t worry. The full list names 50 cities. And even beyond that, there’s opportunity in any market, if you know where to look.
