Boomers once again largest group of homebuyers

Date: April 2nd, 2025 1:22 PM Author: cannon https://www.dailymail.co.uk/real-estate/article-14560453/baby-boomers-infuriate-gen-z-millennials-homebuying-cash-offers.html
Baby boomers now make up the largest group of home buyers, locking out younger people with all-cash offers and bigger down payments.
Advertisement With decades of savings from low mortgage rates, boomers have overtaken Millennials, Gen X, and Gen Z in home purchases.
Millennials (ages 29 to 44) now make up just 29 percent of buyers — down from 38 percent a year ago. Gen X buyers remain steady at 24 percent, while Gen Z account for three in every 100 home purchases.
Overall, the combined share of younger boomers (ages 60–69) and older boomers (ages 70–78) rose to 42 percent of all home buyers in the past year, according to a report by the National Association of Realtors.
‘In a plot twist, baby boomers have overtaken millennials – the largest U.S. population – to become the top generation of home buyers,’ said Jessica Lautz, NAR deputy chief economist and vice president of research.
‘What’s striking is that boomers are purchasing homes entirely with cash, bypassing financing altogether.’ |

Chris UK_Canada_USA, Sarasota , United States, 1 hour ago Baby boomers worked hard and saved not spending every dollar they had or could borrow like younger generations on so called experiences. .
GunnyHighwayUSMC, Parkville, United States, 33 minutes ago The reason the Boomers have cash is that they haven't wasted thousands and thousands of dollars during their lives buying lattes and avocado toast. |

Date: April 2nd, 2025 1:47 PM Author: cannon agilbert, Wichita, United States, 1 hour ago So Boomers have been working longer, and accumulating more wealth due to their age and saving habits, while younger people spend on Netflix/Hulu/AppleTV/Spotify subscriptions, daily Starbucks lattes, DoorDash deliveries, and expensive foreign vacations. This greater wealth provides higher purchasing power. I fail to see how this is a "sneaky trick" or "controversial". |

no, they're reverse mortgaging them so when they die, the homes will be gobbled up by banks and sold to private equity, which will turn them into overpriced and ill-maintained rental units |
