I know that no two buyers are alike, but now the latest data from the NAR’s 2022 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report backs me up! Here are 9 insights I wanted to share:

1. First-time buyers made up 34% of all home buyers, up from 31% last year.

2. Sixty percent of buyers were married couples, 19% were single females, 9% were single males, and 9% were unmarried couples.

3. Thirty-one percent of all buyers had children under 18 living at home.

4. Eleven percent of buyers purchased a multigenerational home to care for and spend time with aging parents.

5. Baby Boomers make up the largest share of sellers at 42%.

6. Eighty-seven percent of buyers financed their home purchase.

7. Forty-five percent of Younger Millennials (ages 23-31) reported having student loans with a median loan balance of $28,000.

8. Gen Xers (ages 42-56) were the most racially diverse buyers in 2021 — 23% identified as Hispanic /Latino, Black/African American, or Asian/Pacific Islander.

9. Real estate agents and brokers remain the top buying resource for buyers of all ages.

Buying and selling at the same time is a difficult task in this market. You need to strategically market your home all while writing up competitive offers to stand out amongst the many eager buyers. (Not to mention negotiating a close day that won’t leave you homeless for a few months.)

It’s really important to have the right lawyers, lenders, and agents as part of your team to make sure you navigate this process successfully.

Congrats to Stephen who closed on both homes within 10 days of each other and started his new chapter in Garwood while getting top dollar for his condo in JC! 🏡

What to Check on Your Final Walk-Through!

The final walk-through on your new home is an exciting event. It means you have successfully maneuvered through negotiations, inspections, and financing approval, and are on the verge of signing your closing papers. Most buyers attend the final walk-through with thoughts of furniture placement and paint colors in their heads. But the walk-through is about more than just making sure your favorite chair will fit by the fireplace. Be sure to do your due diligence to make sure there are no issues that should be resolved before you reach the closing table.

The purpose of the final walk-through is to ascertain that the home is being conveyed to you in the same condition it was when you agreed to purchase it. Here are a few of the things you should check:
