Home Buying Dip: 75% Americans Delay Purchase

About this episode

The episode discusses the decline in home buying expectations among Americans, particularly young adults, amid rising home prices and low inventory.

Homeownership Dreams Delayed: Gallup reports a record low of 25% non-owners expecting to buy a home in the next five years, down from 30% last year and 49% a decade ago. Young adults feel the pinch the most, with only 29% seeing a purchase in the next five years. Sixty-seven percent view now as a bad time to buy, but Republicans are twice as likely to disagree. Home prices hit a March record median of $408,800, yet sales dipped 3.6% month-over-month. First-time buyers are at record lows, while baby boomers lead both buying and selling. Builders chase high-end homes, mortgage rates remain stubborn, and low inventory keeps sidelining sellers, keeping demand flat while prices continue to rise.
