Crece la inversión del fondo en el sector de la primera vivienda.

neutral  Noni Gilbert Riley: First home has the ambiguous connotation of being the first home you own, as in *first homes for first time buyers". (For a UK reader anyway).

main home


Explanation:
This is an option if you wanted to use home. First home usually refers to the first ever property you buy, although it could be understood in context to mean the main one.
