Baby Boomers remain largest share of homebuyers

n First-time buying falls to record low

National Association of Realtors

News release

last year)

• Gen X: 25% (up from 24% in 2025)

• Baby Boomers: 42% (unchanged from last year)

• Silent Generation: 4% (unchanged from last year)

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Baby Boomers remained the largest generational group of homebuyers this year, while the share of first-time buyers fell to the lowest level on record, according to the 2026 homebuyers and Sellers Generational Trends report from the National Association of Realtors.

The report examines the similarities and differences among recent homebuyers and sellers across generations. Among all homebuyers in the past year, the generational breakdown was as follows:

• Gen Z: 4% (up from 3% last year)

• Millennials: 26% (down from 29%

First-time buyers made up just 21% of all homebuyers, down from 24% in the previous survey and the lowest share since NAR began collecting the data in 1981. Among buyers in each generation, the share who were first-time purchasers was:

• Younger Millennials: 60% (down from 71% last year)

• Older Millennials: 33% (down from 36% last year)

• Gen X: 21% (up from 20% last year)

• Younger Boomers: 8% (down from 9% last year)

• Older Boomers: 4% (unchanged from

SURVEY

Sellers optimistic heading into the spring market

Realtor.com

Overall, 83% of potential sellers expect to get their asking price or more according to a new survey from Realtor.com. This survey, conducted by Realtor. com Research and Insights, found that potential sellers are heading into spring with tempered optimism, confident in their home’s value, but increasingly aware of a market in transition. Threequarters of potential sellers (74%) believe now is a good time to sell, citing strong home values, limited inventory, and stabilizing interest rates as primary drivers.

“Sellers this spring are entering the market clear-eyed — they understand their home has value, and they’re motivated to act, but they’re also more attuned to the reality that buyers have regained some footing,” said Laura Eddy, vice president of Research and Insights at Realtor. com. “What’s notable is how much sellers have done their homework. The vast majority have researched values, evaluated improvements, and thought carefully about timing — and that preparation is likely to serve them well during the week of April 12-18, what we consider the best week to sell.”

Sellers expect results

Potential sellers are entering the market with high price expectations: 46% believe they will receive their asking price, 37% expect more than asking, with only 12% thinking they will get less than asking price. At the same time, a growing share acknowledges the market is shifting. In 2026, 39% of potential sellers expect they will need to make concessions as a seller, up significantly from 30% in 2025, signaling a more nuanced read on market conditions compared to prior years. When it comes to timing, 75% expect their home to sell within four months, including 27% who expect a sale within one to two months. The typical home spends 57 days on market according to the March monthly housing report from Realtor.com.

Why sellers are listing

Profit potential and lifestyle change are the top motivations driving potential sellers to list. Forty-one percent cite the desire to make a profit, up from 36% in 2025, while an equal share are looking for a different neighborhood or community. The need for more space (39%) rounds out the top three reasons. Fewer sellers cited downsizing as a motivation compared to

last year (20% vs. 25%), consistent with a market where lifestyle upgrades are top of mind. Most potential sellers (eight in 10) are planning to stay within their current state, with more than half moving within the same county, a sign that local market dynamics and community ties remain central to sellers’ decision-making.

Market in transition

Seller sentiment mirrors the broader housing landscape: 40% describe the current market as a sellers’ market, while 33% see a balanced market and 27% a buyers’ market. Sellers in the South and West tended to see the market as favoring buyers, which aligns with rising inventory in those regions. In contrast, almost half of potential sellers in the Northeast viewed it as a sellers’ market, reflecting the area’s tight inventory and strong competition. If their home doesn’t sell on their desired timeline, sellers are split between reducing the price (35%), waiting out the market (34%), and withdrawing the listing entirely (29%). That split perception reflects a housing market where local conditions vary dramatically — seen in the Realtor. com Market Clock which analyzes key market signals like

market balance, market pressure and market pace. Just 26% of the nation’s 50 largest metros remain seller’s markets, concentrated largely in the Midwest and Northeast, while all eight buyer’s markets fall in the South or West — including Austin, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville and Miami.

For potential sellers, their metro’s position on the Market Clock directly shapes the calculus on pricing, concessions, and timing. Sellers in peak seller markets like Hartford, Chicago, and Indianapolis can reasonably expect strong demand and limited need for price flexibility. Those in buyer markets, particularly across Florida and Texas, may want to lean into the spring window more aggressively and price competitively from the start to avoid sitting on the market as competition grows.

This range of conditions underscores the importance of timing. According to the Realtor. com 2026 Best Time to Sell Report, the week of April 12-18 offers sellers a historically favorable window — homes listed during this period receive 16.7% more views than the average week and sell approximately nine days faster. Nationally, sellers who list this week could see a median listing price approximately $26,000 above January levels.

“The sellers who are most likely to succeed this spring are the ones who are listing a well-priced, move-inready home and doing so before the summer surge in competition,” said Hannah Jones, senior economic research analyst at Realtor.com.

“In markets where inventory is tighter — particularly across the Northeast and Midwest — motivated sellers are still in a strong position. But even in markets where supply has recovered, like parts of the South and West, the mid-April window is the optimal time to capture high-intent buyers before the market gets crowded.”

Preparation matters

Among the potential sellers surveyed, those who have taken more preparation steps tend to feel more confident about their outcome. Beyond checking home values, 54% have researched prices in their neighborhood, 50% have made small fixes or cleaned and decluttered, and 44% have determined what home improvements to make before listing — though that last figure is down from 50% in 2025. Sellers have largely been considering their move for some time: 53% have been thinking about selling for one to three years.

Boomers

last year)

• Silent Generation: 3% (down from 5% last year)

“The housing market remains sharply divided between homeowners with equity and first-time buyers trying to break in — many of whom are younger Millennials,” said NAR Deputy Chief Economist Dr. Jessica Lautz. “For many younger households, affordability challenges and limited inventory are still making homeownership difficult to achieve.”

• Millennials continue to lose market share overall. However, older Millennials are leveraging equity to become move-up buyers. These older Millennials had the highest median household income of any generation at $132,700, bought the largest homes with a median of 2,100 square feet, and were far less likely to be first-time buyers than younger Millennials.

“Older Millennial buyers are now entering middle age, and with that comes a shift,” Lautz said. “This cohort is now the highestearning generation of homebuyers, buys the largest homes and is most likely to have children living with them. Those traits were once more commonly associated with Gen X buyers, who are now increasingly looking toward empty-nesting and retirement.”

Multigenerational homes are declining in overall market share. Across all buyers, 14% purchased a multigenerational home (down from 17% last

year), with top reasons including caring for aging parents, cost savings, and adult children moving back home. Among buyers in each generation, the share who purchased a multigenerational home was:

• Younger Millennials: 9% (up from 7% last year)

• Older Millennials: 14% (up from 12% last year)

• Gen X: 19% (down from 21% last year)

• Younger Boomers: 14% (down from 15% last year)

• Older Boomers: 11% (down from 13% last year)

• Silent Generation: 16% (down from 21% last year)

Among Gen Z homebuyers, the youngest generation in the market, key findings include:

• 35% of Gen Z buyers were single females—the highest share among all generations

• 17% of Gen Z buyers were unmarried couples— the highest share among all generations

“What stands out about Gen Z is how confidently they’re beginning to define homeownership for themselves,” Lautz said.

“They may still be a small share of the market, but they’re already challenging old assumptions about who buys a home and when. For many of these buyers, marriage and children are no longer the defining milestones before a home purchase. The driving force is simply the desire to own a home of their own.”

On the selling side, Baby Boomers also remained dominant, making up 55% of all home sellers. Across all generations, sellers typically stayed in their

homes for 11 years before selling, while Younger Millennials sold after five years and Older Boomers typically sold after 15 years.

“Baby Boomers are at a point in life when they have the flexibility to move, often with housing equity to help purchase their next home,” Lautz said.

“In earlier years, Baby Boomers — like Millennials today — may have moved because of a job change or the need for a larger home. Today, many Baby Boomers are embracing choice and moving to be closer to friends and family, to downsize, or to retire and enjoy a work-free lifestyle.”

Even as generational patterns differ across the market, buyers and sellers alike continue to rely heavily on real estate agents.

Eighty-eight percent of all buyers purchased their homes through an agent.

Buyers continued to show strong confidence in their agents, with 91% saying they would use their real estate agent again or recommend them to others. This was especially strong among Older Boomers (90%) and the Silent Generation (92%).

On the selling side, 91% of sellers worked with an agent, and homes typically sold for a median 99% of the final list price. Among sellers, Older Millennials were the most likely to use an agent at 92%.

Younger Millennial sellers were among the strongest performers on price, with 19% selling for 101% to 110% of list price and 11% selling for more than 110% of list price.
