In the United States, the median American is 39 years of age and is at the average part of a cohort that is seeing at best stagnating outcomes, at worst deteriorating ones.
In 2002, the median age of a first-time home buyer was 31, with the median age of a repeat home buyer being 41.
Fast forward to 2024: the median age of a first home buyer is now 38, and the median age of a repeat buyer is 61.
