I know that no two buyers are alike, but now the latest data from the NAR’s 2022 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report backs me up! Here are 9 insights I wanted to share:

1. First-time buyers made up 34% of all home buyers, up from 31% last year.

2. Sixty percent of buyers were married couples, 19% were single females, 9% were single males, and 9% were unmarried couples.

3. Thirty-one percent of all buyers had children under 18 living at home.

4. Eleven percent of buyers purchased a multigenerational home to care for and spend time with aging parents.

5. Baby Boomers make up the largest share of sellers at 42%.

6. Eighty-seven percent of buyers financed their home purchase.

7. Forty-five percent of Younger Millennials (ages 23-31) reported having student loans with a median loan balance of $28,000.

8. Gen Xers (ages 42-56) were the most racially diverse buyers in 2021 — 23% identified as Hispanic /Latino, Black/African American, or Asian/Pacific Islander.

9. Real estate agents and brokers remain the top buying resource for buyers of all ages.

If you are a first time homebuyer like my client Zach, it is important to be educated on all your down payment and loan options. This condo was the first offer we put in and it was accepted! It checked all his boxes, plus it is 6 minutes to downtown Chatham and a local favorite

If you’re looking to buy, I am here to guide you through, provide resources and get creative at times to make it all happen!
(Working with a buyers agent doesn’t cost you anything by the way!) 😊

Cheers to Zach and his girlfriend Nicole! 🏡

Buying and selling at the same time is a difficult task in this market. You need to strategically market your home all while writing up competitive offers to stand out amongst the many eager buyers. (Not to mention negotiating a close day that won’t leave you homeless for a few months.)

It’s really important to have the right lawyers, lenders, and agents as part of your team to make sure you navigate this process successfully.

Congrats to Stephen who closed on both homes within 10 days of each other and started his new chapter in Garwood while getting top dollar for his condo in JC! 🏡
