Buono BroktrOwntr LOOKING FORWARD Generation Xers have not been as fortunate as their Baby Boomer parents in terms ot real estate. Because Xers didn't buy into the market before its current run-up, they have been forced to take on housing debt that stands 62 higher than Boomers had at this point in their lives. This has not discouraged Generation Xers from forging a similar path, however.

A significant increase in home buying is already occurring among Gen Xers. According to the National Association of Realtors, from 2001 to 2003, the number of buyers under age 25 who are purchasing their first homes jumped 20.2 to 345,000 from 287,000. This many first-time buyers in the market bodes well for sellers in the upcoming years. With attractive interest rates and a wide variety of affordable mortgage programs, sellers can anticipate that, if priced properly, they will enjoy a good response when putting their property on the market. An experienced, professional real estate can offer you excellent advice when preparing your home for selling.
