Homeownership: 2019 Profile of Buyers and Sellers

Published: Nov. 18, 2019, 10:25 p.m.

A new survey provides a snapshot of the people who’ve been buying and selling homes. Some of the top findings include an increase in older or “move up” buyers and a decrease in first-time buyers. It also shows that younger buyers frequently need help with down payments. 
 
The National Association of Realtors conducts this survey once a year. This year’s survey covers a period of time from July 2018 to June of this year and was recently released during an annual convention.
