We’ve all been there, wishing we could be a fly on the wall or wondering what people are thinking.  While we’re not phychic and nor do we have a crystal ball, we can tell you that we do our homework and have an understanding of what home-buyers are thinking when it comes to their motivation in purchasing a home.  Thanks to detailed studies recently conducted by the National Association of Realtors, we’re going to answer that question for you…

The 2009 report outlines the primary reasons first-time home-buyers (FTHB) and repeat buyers (RB) purchase a home -
