🚨 The average first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old.

Yes — 40.

That’s the highest age ever recorded for first-time buyers.

For comparison:
• 2024: 38
• 2010: around 30
• 1980s: late 20s

And first-time buyers now make up only about 21% of all home purchases.

Why?

Higher home prices.
Higher interest rates.
Higher insurance costs.
Higher taxes.
Higher everyday expenses.

People aren’t necessarily choosing to wait until 40 to buy their first home — for many, it’s simply taking that long to afford one.

The buyer pool is changing, and the real estate market is changing right along with it.
