First-time home buyers--like teachers, firefighters and other middle class workers who were once priced out of the Palm Beach County market during the big run up--are rejuvenating the low end of the county's real estate market.
The number of sales contracts for Palm Beach County went up 134% from March to April of this year, according to Regional MLS figures.
Historically low interest rates and an $ 8,000 credit for first-time buyers are the most influential reasons.
