Monthly homebuyer sentiment in the U.S. 2011-2023, by age group
The homebuyer sentiment in the United States worsened substantially in 2021 and remained low for all age groups until 2023. As of July 2023, the homebuyer outlook was the worst for older millennials (the age group of 35 to 44-year-olds). The net homebuyer sentiment in that age group was negative 71, which means that the share of respondents who thought it was a bad time to buy a home outweighed the share of respondents who said the contrary by 71.
