TOP 5 TAKEAWAYS: Key insights to help you guide first-time buyers with clarity and confidence.

1 There are higher barriers for first-time buyers, not lower demand. First-time buyers make up 21% of the market, a historic low compared to the long-term average of about 40%.

2 Buyers are entering the market later. The median age of a first-time buyer is now 40, compared to late 20s in the 1980s.

3 The desire to own remains strong. 78% of renters want to own, yet 57% say they rent because they believe they can’t afford to buy.

4 Down payment myths delay action. Renters estimate a 25% down payment, while the typical first-time buyer puts down 10%. And 84% don’t know what they qualify for.

5 Assistance programs exist, but awareness is low. State, federal and local options can reduce upfront costs, and REALTORS® play a key role in identifying eligible programs and helping buyers navigate the next steps.

California home sales declined in January to lowest level since May 2025


Source: WRE News
California recorded 256,500 closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes during January, a 10.8 percent decline from the downwardly revised 287,570 sales from December and down 1.3 percent from January 2025, according to the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.).

Also in decline was California’s median home price, which reached a 23-month low of $823,180 in January, down 3.2 percent from December. On a year-over-year basis, the median price fell for the third time in the past four months and registered its largest annual price decline since June 2023. But C.A.R. also noted that 31 of the 53 counties it tracked recorded year-over-year median home price gains in January. As more recent economic indicators suggest that the economy is beginning to stabilize, confidence may be restored among both buyers and sellers.
