Homes that would  seem  to fit the bill, at least in terms of size and amenities, are often now listed at wildly prohibitive price points, even in a time marked by record-low mortgage rates. It has ushered in an era of high stress and unprecedented challenge for first-time buyers, eager to jump into their initial real estate purchase. Even those who have done everything they were “supposed to do” (like getting a college degree and a steady-paying job, working on their credit...
