🏡 Who's Buying Houses in Today's Market? 🏡
If you think homebuyers are mostly first-time buyers in their 20s and 30s, think again!
According to recent NAR data, Baby Boomers are leading the way, accounting for 42% of home purchases. Millennials are close behind at 26%, followed by Gen X at 25%. Gen Z is just beginning to make its mark, while the Silent Generation still represents a small but meaningful share of buyers.
📊 Here's the breakdown: 🏠 Baby Boomers – 42% 🏠 Millennials – 26% 🏠 Gen X – 25% 🏠 Gen Z – 4% 🏠 Silent Generation – 4%
What does this tell us?
✅ Many Baby Boomers are downsizing, relocating, or purchasing homes closer to family. ✅ Millennials continue to build wealth through homeownership and are moving into larger homes. ✅ Gen X buyers are often balancing career growth, family needs, and investment goals. ✅ Gen Z is entering the market and proving that homeownership is still possible with the right plan.
No matter your age or stage of life, there is a path to homeownership—or to making your next move.
