Welcome Home, First Time Home Buyers!

I came across this great article and had to share with you all! Like the title says, it is a list of the top 10 states for first time homebuyers. Not only were five of them in New England, Rhode Island came in 3rd with Massachusetts coming in 5th!! This is great news for the area and for potential buyers.

The article supports this by citing foreclosure rates, monthly housing payment gaps between renters and homeowners as well as some of the fantastic first time homebuyer programs that both Rhode Island and Massachusetts have to offer.

I really encourage you to take a look for yourself- it's a quick and informative read.
