First-Time Buyers: What You Need to Know About 2026

Описание: First‑Time Homebuyers in 2026: Why This Year Can Work in New Hampshire’s Lakes & White Mountains Regions

If you’ve felt locked out as a first‑time buyer, you’re not alone—the typical first‑time buyer is now around 40. But conditions in 2026 are finally easing:

Rates have inched down from 2025 highs, inventory is improving, and bidding‑war pressure isn’t what it was in 2021–22. Let me show you how to prepare, where to look, and which programs to consider—so you can buy with confidence instead of rushing.

What You’ll Learn:

• How slightly lower mortgage rates and more listings change buyer strategy in 2026
• Smart prep steps: credit, savings targets, and timing your pre‑approval
• Low‑down‑payment options (FHA/VA/USDA), co‑buying, and local grant ideas to stretch your budget
• Where first‑time buyers are finding value near *Lake Winnipesaukee, Squam Lake, Ossipee Lake, North Conway, Waterville Estates (Campton), Wolfeboro, Madison, Moultonborough, and Laconia*
• Why strategy beats speed this year—and how to win without waiving contingencies

Who I Help:

I work with first‑time buyers, move‑up sellers, second‑home and waterfront clients across the Lakes Region (Moultonborough, Wolfeboro, Ossipee, Madison, Laconia, Meredith, Center Harbor) and the **Southern White Mountains (Campton/Waterville Estates, Plymouth, Conway/North Conway). My approach is strategic, data‑driven, and local.
