Local Realtor David Baumgartner feels sorry for all the people losing their homes, but he also sees the bright side of the housing market these days – first-time home buyers having options they didn’t have before and assuredness the industry will hit its stride again.
“I feel sorry for the people who are losing their homes,” said Baumgartner, of the Baumgartner Realty in Hollister. “But on the other hand, I feel good about the people who get the American dream, buying a home.”
Some real estate agents in San Benito County such as Baumgartner this week touted signs of a market turnaround despite steadily poor foreclosure numbers, while pointing out how first-time buyers have opportunities they hadn’t had in decades around here.
