For years, real estate markets in St. John’s, and Newfoundland in general, favoured sellers and buyers with greater flexibility. Who they didn’t favour was first time homebuyers.

The market has changed recently, and first time buyers are finally starting to see legitimate opportunities to break into the real estate market.
