THE MODERN FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER: HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED

The landscape for first-time home buyers has shifted dramatically in recent years. According to the National Association of Realtors, first-time buyers now represent only 24% of home purchasers, a historic low. The median age of these buyers has risen to 36 years, indicating that many are entering the market later in life. Factors contributing to this trend include escalating home prices, higher mortgage interest rates, and limited housing inventory. These challenges necessitate a decade-longer saving period compared to previous generations. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for both buyers and sellers navigating today’s real estate market.
