Share of people who will buy a home upon next move in the U.S. 2011-2023 by age group
Americans between the ages of 35 and 64 were most likely to buy a home upon their next move, according to a national representative survey conducted in July 2023. Over 70 percent of respondents from this age group shared they would buy their next home, while for the youngest generation (18 to 34) this percentage stood at 54 percent. That can be explained with the many challenges first-time buyers face as they enter the housing market, including saving up for a down payment, finding a suitable property, or securing a mortgage.
