    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    In 2006, there were 7.54 million total homes sold (including primary, secondary and vacation properties). Of these homes, about 36 percent (or 2.71 million) were sold to first-time home buyers. This total was down from the 3 million first-time buyers in 2005.
