this is fucking insane. boomers really are sociopaths--still striving and buying bigger and bigger houses as the entire world collapses around them and no one younger than 45 can afford to buy anything. obviously totally unsustainable and late-empire shit

56 years of age would mean you were born in 1978 or 1979, which is getting toward the end of Generation X.

So in 1981, the median homebuyer was born in 1950. 44 years later, in 2025, the median homebuyer was born in 1978. The median birth year only advanced 17 years over a 44 year period.

regardless, what are you doing buying a new house at age 56 or older? you likely have no kids left in your house and are basically just buying a show-off house that you can fill with paintings of kids getting killed and molested like Tony Podesta's house. boomers should be gassed

i’m sure that’s part of it, but there are also a lot of 55+mos downsizing these days, which wasn’t a thing in 1981 for lots of reasons. also, you have to assume most of these oldmos are simultaneously vacating a residence, thus leaving the supply in the same position.

first-time homebuyer median is around 38 years old iirc. of course olds are buying more homes, they are the only ones with Equity. I would never defend boomers for any reason, but this is to be expected afaik.

This housing market/country is evil. It’s not that there’s a problem it’s that everyone just shrugs. Like there’s other ways to look at things other than the laissez faire capitalism / lib government REGULATION dichotomy. Like don’t respond to problems with your gay “solutions.” Just make the stupid country suck less and things like this will sort themselves out imo.

only way the country can "suck less" is if the people don't suck, and that is not happening in the US.

It's crazy that in my town it costs literally TRIPLE to buy a house compared to 5 years ago when you factor in interest rates.

So basically it went from like a police officer married to a teacher could probably buy a house if they were smart with money, to now you would probably struggle to buy on a big law associate salary.

Olds used to stay in their (modest) homes until it was time for assisted living but now they downsize from their McMansions once the youngest kid goes to college. Or they relocate to where their grandkids are because no one stays in the city they grew up in anymore.
