Millennials Dominate When It Comes to Homebuying


When it comes to moving more, spending more and buying more, Millennials outpace the older generations.

Millennials have been in the lead for a year now when it comes to purchasing homes. According to , they have acquired more mortgages than previous generations. In the third quarter report, Millennials reached a share of 46% of mortgage originations, and 44% in primary home loan originations. Gen X was only reported at 17% and the Baby Boomers fell to 18% share in mortgage originations. As for primary home loan orginitations, Gen X was at 39% and Baby Boomers hit 16%.

Several factors are driving the Millennial consumers. According to Porch.com, Milliannials move once every two years. They are also buying more expensive homes and increasing the size of their loans. Realtor.com’s Director of Economic Research Javier Vivas explains that Millennials are getting older, with better jobs and deeper pockets which give the ability to expand their collective purchase power.

Millennials median home price went up this year 6% to $250,000, while Generation X went up 5% and Baby Boomers increased only 2%. Millennials median loan amount is up to $231,590 which is a 7.3% increase from this time last year. Growth in mortgage debt for Millennials is also greater than
the 2.6% by the Baby Boomers and 4% by Generation X.

It will be interesting to see how the Millennials purchasing trend continues in the housing market. So far, Millennials dominate the housing market and it is said this will continue for years to come.
