🏘️ The 25-Year Housing Surge: Why the Boom Is Just Beginning!

1️⃣ The $84 Trillion Wealth Transfer 💰

Think of it like this: after World War II, the GI Bill and new suburban construction launched one of the greatest wealth-building periods in U.S. history. Today, we’re about to witness something even larger.

Boomers and the Silent Generation are poised to pass down more than $80 trillion in wealth over the next two decades. Much of it will arrive as inheritances, down-payment gifts, and all cash purchases. That flow of capital accelerates homeownership for Millennials and Gen Z, while keeping liquidity circulating through the market.

Agents: are you positioned to work with the millions of first-time buyers who will suddenly have parental cash backing them?

2️⃣ Pent-Up Demand Is Everywhere ⏳

The median age of first-time homebuyers has climbed to a record 38 years old, up from 35 just a year ago and well above the late-20s norm of past decades — signaling that affordability constraints are adding years to the timeline for entering the market.

As the NAR puts it:

“The median first-time homebuyer has reached an all-time high age of 38 years old” (nar.realtor).

Millions are waiting for affordability to improve — demand isn’t gone, it’s stacked and waiting to be unleashed.

❓ What happens when millions of households who’ve been forced to delay moving suddenly see rates dip or prices soften just enough to act? What if both of these things happen at once?

3️⃣ Lower Mortgage Rates Unlock Activity 🏡

A modest rate shift from 7% to the “5-handle” could boost buying power by roughly 10%. As rates ease, buyers currently sidelined will return, lifting transaction volume.

While affordability remains stretched — home prices have risen 60% since 2019, pushing the median U.S. price to $441,738 by mid‑2025, with mortgage payments averaging over $2,570/month — signs of relief are emerging:

  • In April 2025, the median price of new single-family homes fell 2.0% year-over-year to $407,200.

  • 20% of resale listings have undergone price cuts, the highest level since 2016 (Reuters).

💡 Fresh evidence of sensitivity to rates: In Q2 2025, mortgage lending surged with nearly 1.76 million residential loans issued (+19.4% from Q1, +6.3% YoY), totaling $601.7 billion in volume (+22.8% quarter-over-quarter, +10.3% YoY) (Reuters). Even “marginal rate improvements” sparked lending growth across 201 of 212 metros — proof that when financing costs shift, buyers move.

This combination of moderating rates, price adjustments, and lending rebound sets the stage for a gradual affordability recovery.

4️⃣ Millennials Are Just Getting Started 🏘️

Millennials — the largest adult generation in U.S. history — number approximately 73 million (Newsweek).

In 2025, 52% of them intend to purchase a home (Newsweek), amounting to over 38 million prospective buyers — or about 20–25 million home buying decisions, depending on household structure.

💡 Example: Meet Sarah, 33, a Millennial teacher with two kids. She’s been renting for years, waiting for rates to dip below 6%. With $40,000 from her parents (part of that $84T wealth transfer), she’s ready to buy. Multiply Sarah by 38 million and you see why the demand wave is unstoppable.

This cohort will be the backbone of housing demand for the next 15 years.

5️⃣ Gen Z Will Be Even Bigger 👶

Gen Z, at around 69 million strong in the U.S. (TIME+1), is even more eager: 67% plan to purchase a home in 2025 (Newsweek).

That equates to nearly 46 million potential buyers, or roughly 25–30 million home buying decisions.

❓ What happens when nearly 50 million Gen Z buyers all want in at the same time? A multi-decade wave of demand is ready to launch in the 2030s and beyond.
