The average age of homebuyers in the U.S. has risen by six years since July 2023 — another sign
that younger Americans are being priced out of the market due to escalating ownership costs.
The average age of homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 in 2023, according to the National
Association of Realtors’ annual state-of-the-market report released Monday. That’s a historic
high, up from an average age in the low-to-mid 40s in the early 2010s.
The median age of first-time buyers also rose from 35 to 38, while the share of first-timers
dropped from 32% to 24% of all buyers for the year ending July 2024. That marks the lowest
percentage since NAR started tracking the metric in 1981.
