Survey: More first-time buyers enter housing market
More first-time buyers and single women bought homes in the past year, according to a survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors. The poll also found sellers lowered prices to get their homes off the market. "Tax incentives, record high affordability conditions and a pent-up demand brought a record share of first-time home buyers into the market," said Paul Bishop, the trade association's vice president of research.
