First time home buyers are keeping the market going these days according to the National Association of Realtors. Young people with no major credit issues now have more buying power.

The 20 and 30 somethings may be saving the economy. 24year old Emily Carter is showing off her newly purchased home in the Frisco area. The single teacher just bought a $145,000, four bedroom house. She says, " There are lots of young people, there's stuff to do, its just a nice area, its not too crowded.'

She's a first time home buyer. While many are struggling with foreclosures, its a buyers market for young people. She agrees saying, " We haven't made any big mistakes, we can learn from the mistakes of those who were before us and hopefully get a house that we can afford and fit it up and help the economy a little bit."

She's not alone. According to the National Association of Realtors forty-five percent of home sales in April were first time buyers. Realtor Emily Carter says, " We do a lot of first time home buyers coming in, especially with the tax credit."

In North Texas more young people are choosing to call place like Frisco home. The city of nearly 100,000 has a median age of only 31.
