This includes data from Redfin that show first-time buyers accounted for 57 percent of home tours conducted by its agents mid-month, and that home-purchase education class requests jumped 27 percent in January over a year earlier. Another sign comes from The Campbell/Inside Mortgage Finance HousingPulse Tracking Survey, which reported that first-time buyer activity has started to increase much earlier than is typical seasonally, accounting for 36.3 percent of home purchases in December.
