Is the window of opportunity for first-time homebuyers finally here? David Sidoni reveals why February 2025 presents a unique moment in the market, with increased inventory and less competition than seen in the past five years.
Quote:
"According to Zillow and their market Heat index, home buyers had more leverage than they've ever had in the past five years."

- Could less competition be creating your perfect moment, with listings up but sales down?
- What if you're actually ready to buy 8-20 months sooner than you think?
- How did nearly half of 2024's buyers secure rates under 5%?
- Are cities like Harrisburg and Rochester the hidden gems for first-time buyers in 2025?
