As of Jan.1, 2008, first time home buyers do not have many choices for housing in the Metzger neighborhood. My usual criteria for most first time home buyers is a house less than $300,000, which ideally would make their house payment less than $2000.00 per month. The idea is to find any suitable home you can afford and then trade up after a few years when you have some equity.

I've done a computer search and there are 3 condos and 2 detached (houses) homes for sale in Metzger. Both houses seem to be ideal for first time home buyers and one of the condos was priced at $115,000, (2 bedroom, 1 bath, 776 square feet), which is a real bargain for anyone interested in condos.
