Market is Heating Up! First-Time Homebuyer Workshops Will Get You Ready!
Historical low supply means rising home prices, quicker sales, and multiple offer situations. Beat out the competition and get that dream by educating yourself with a FREE First Time Home Buyer class!
The busy season for real estate is heating up, even if the weather isn’t.
With historically low supply (see graph), home buyers are facing stiff competition as they compete for the limited number of homes on the market. With interest rates still at historical lows, now may be a great time for a first time home buyer to enter the market.
Educating yourself on the process, from searching for a home, making an offer, and going through inspection process, to securing a mortgage and closing on your dream, will provide you with an advantage over other buyers. Attending a First Time Homebuyer Workshop will get you off to a good start. The Durham Executive Group team’s popular First Time Homebuyer Workshop will be offered at the RE/MAX Results office located at 604 Bielenberg Dr. on the following dates and times:
