Redfin reported that 30% of 25-year-olds owned their homes in 2022, surpassing the 27% ownership rate for Gen X when they were the same age. This figure slightly trails the baby boomers' rate of 32%. Many young homebuyers capitalized on low mortgage rates during 2020 and 2021, yet current market conditions pose challenges due to rising housing costs and increasing mortgage rates. In 2021, the median monthly mortgage payment for a 25-year-old was $1,013, which was 16% of their median income of $74,900. Gen Z homebuyers typically purchased homes costing $235,000 with a $10,000 down payment. However, challenges such as low housing supply and potential recession risks have made homeownership more difficult for this generation.
Investors Struggle in a Cooling Housing Market
In March, 13.5% of U.S. homes sold by investors were at a loss, reflecting a downturn from February's 14.5% and nearly tripling the previous year’s figures. The average profit margin for homes sold by investors decreased to 45.9% ($145,714) from 55.3% a year ago. Rising mortgage rates, currently averaging 6.39%, have led to higher monthly payments, reducing demand and pushing prices down. Flippers, particularly in cities like Phoenix (30.7% loss) and Las Vegas (28%), are most affected. The data indicates a 46% drop in investor purchases year-over-year during Q4. Investors own 10.1% of new listings, down from a pandemic peak of 12.4%. The trend suggests a significant shift in the real estate landscape, with many investors opting to cut losses as home prices continue to decline.
The typical U.S. homebuyer's monthly housing payment reached a record $2,538, as mortgage rates climbed to 6.39% after five weeks of decline, according to Redfin's latest report. Despite the median home-sale price dropping 2.6% year-over-year, pending home sales decreased 19%, marking the largest drop in nearly three months. Homebuyer Demand Index saw a rise of 3% week-over-week, although it's still 7% lower than last year. Notably, home prices fell in more than half of U.S. metros, with Austin, TX experiencing the steepest decline at -15.1% YoY. New listings declined 21%, as homeowners retain low mortgage rates and resist selling. The shift in demand varies geographically, with some markets seeing multiple offers despite high costs.
