Cleveland Area Homebuyers Lead In First-Timers And Youth
A National Association of Realtors survey of 14 metro areas finds Cleveland tied with Boston for the highest share of first time buyers at 59 percent and with Pittsburgh for the youngest buyers with a median age of 30.

Frank Crisafi of the Cleveland Area Board of Realtors notes existing home sales in Northeast Ohio are down less than the national average.
