Between rising home prices and shortages of homes for sale, the market has been difficult for buyers, with those trying to buy for the first time particularly feeling the effects. A don’t-give-up mindset may be key for first-time home buyers.
Forty-three percent of more than 800 prospective home buyers recently surveyed by realtor.com® say they’ve been searching for a home for more than a year. One-third of respondents say they’ve been in the market searching for a home between six and 12 months.
“Americans, even millennials who many thought would never buy, have a strong preference for homeownership for the same reasons many generations before them have—to invest in a place of their own and in their communities, and to build a solid financial foundation for themselves and their families,” says George Ratiu, realtor.com® senior economist. “However, today’s first-time home buyers face unprecedented challenges brought on by a lack of available homes for sale and double-digit price growth. They are resilient, though, with many in the market searching for their home for more than a year.”
With housing inventories at all-time lows and list prices rising rapidly, first-time home buyers are finding it challenging to close on a home. Thirty-four percent of respondents said they are unable to find a home within their budget.
Still, first-time buyers comprised 31% of existing-home sales in February, down only slightly from 32% a year earlier, according to the National Association of REALTORS®’ latest existing-home sales report.
Here are additional highlights from realtor.com®’s survey:
The top reasons first-time home buyers want to buy: “I want to be a homeowner” at 59%; “I want to live in a space that I can invest in improving” at 33%; “The need for more space” at 31%; and “I want to build equity” at 22%.
What factors are delaying home purchases: Not enough money for a down payment (44%) and unable to find a home within their budget (34%).
Top factors in a home search: Location (38%); quiet location (33%); large backyard (32%); and garage (29%). Also, 43% indicated they wanted a move-in-ready home, while only 11% said they were willing to purchase a fixer-upper.
