Ann Arbor First Time Home Buyer Trends and Resources: 2008 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers
As you may know, we are very eager to guide Ann Arbor area first time home buyers through the maze of choices and the process in Washtenaw County. A couple of our buyers agents LOVE to work with Ann Arbor first time home buyers.
The National Association of Realtors publishes the 2008 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers annually and we discuss some of the facts related to first time home buyers in this post.
In the charts below, the median income of first time home buyers was $60,600. Right now there are many purchase opportunities in the Ann Arbor marketplace that make buying cheaper than renting. To find your Ann Arbor home, just use the easy online Ann Arbor home search feature to look at all home listings.
Fifty Four percent of first time buyers are ages 25 – 34 years old with a median age of 30. We find that texting is very easy for this group.
Married couples make up the largest percentage of first time buyers (49%) with single females (24%) then single males (12%) following. That makes perfect sense because there are two people capable of saving the down payment.
One of the important home buying considerations is schools. Feel free to search all public and private Washtenaw County Schools: tours, calendars, closings, web sites at www.WashtnenawSchools.com.
We have a monthly seminar to educate buyers, especially first time Ann Arbor buyers. If you know of a neighbor, friend, co-worker, or investors who are considering buying Ann Arbor Real Estate, please send them our way: 734-669-0337. We’ll exhaust ourselves to see you or them recognize the Ann Arbor home buying dream.
