9 Real Estate Trends That Could Impact Your Move
The housing market is always shifting, and understanding the latest trends can help you make smarter decisions when buying or selling a home. We’ve broken down some key insights from a recent article by the National Association of REALTORS® to keep things simple and helpful.
First-Time Buyers Are Feeling the Squeeze
Buying your first home is tougher than ever! Rising rents, student loans, and debt are making it hard for many. First-time buyers now have a median age of 38—yep, it’s taking longer to save up.
All-Cash Offers Are On the Rise
More buyers are skipping mortgages entirely, with 26% making all-cash offers. Why? Many are selling their current homes and using that equity to avoid today’s higher mortgage rates.
Sellers Are Getting Full Price (or More!)
Homes are in high demand! Most sellers are getting 100% of their asking price, and 27% are even selling for above. If you’re thinking of selling, this might be your moment.
Multigenerational Homes Are Trending
Families are coming together! Whether it’s caring for parents, saving on costs, or helping grown kids move back home, 17% of buyers are choosing homes for multiple generations.
“For Sale By Owner” Is Fading Away
Only 6% of people are selling their homes without an agent—a record low. Why? Homes sold with an agent are going for way more money (a $55,000 difference, on average).
Bigger Down Payments Are Becoming the Norm
Buyers are putting more money down—18% on average. First-time buyers are still sticking around 9%, but repeat buyers are upping the game at 23%.
Single Women Are Leading the Way
Did you know 20% of homebuyers are single women? That’s more than double the percentage of single men (8%). Women are taking charge of their future, and we love to see it!
New Homes Are Hot Right Now
More buyers are going for new builds—15% of sales, the highest in 17 years! A fresh, move-in-ready home is hard to resist, especially if it means skipping renovations.
Real Estate Agents Are as Important as Ever
With 86% of buyers and 90% of sellers working with agents, the value of expert guidance has never been clearer. The process is complex, and having the right agent makes all the difference.
