HOT off the press - Employment figures for February......Unemployment for last month held steady at 9.7% Total non-farm payrolls were down by 36,000 for last month. Economist expected both of these numbers to be much worse, so this is good news. Also, we had major snow storms in February. This would cause for jobs that were scheduled to begin in February to be delayed. This would cause these numbers to be worse. All in all - I think these numbers are further confirmation of our economic recovery.

Common First-Time Home Buyer Mistakes
1. They don’t ask enough questions of their lender and end up missing out on the best deal.

2. They don’t act quickly enough to make a decision and someone else buys the house.

3. They don’t find the right agent who’s willing to help them through the homebuying process.

4. They don’t do enough to make their offer look appealing to a seller.

5. They don’t think about resale before they buy. The average first-time buyer only stays in a home for four years.
