Boston's housing market presents unique challenges for first-time buyers, as many homes are historic and may require significant repairs. Prospective buyers are advised to consider the essentials, like plumbing and structural integrity, rather than getting distracted by cosmetic features. Market conditions have led to a scarcity of available properties, pushing buyers towards compromises. Experts suggest opting for home warranties and paying close attention to long-term costs related to repairs.
"The current market is tough for first-time buyers. The inventory of available houses to buy has never been lower in our market. Most buyers realize they will have to compromise."
"It's easy to get caught up in the aesthetic design aspects when touring a home, but it's important that buyers focus more on the things that either they can't change or can cost them a lot of money down the road."
