Fewer young Americans can afford homes, but signs of stabilization offer hope.
Homeownership is increasingly difficult for younger Americans, with half of first-time buyers now 40 or older—up from 35.4 a decade ago—due to high prices, mortgage rates, and low inventory.
However, historical patterns show past affordability crises, like those in the 1980s and early 2000s, eventually eased without repeating the worst outcomes.
Current signs of stabilization—rising home supply, steady prices and rents, and potential rate stability—offer cautious hope.
Experts suggest down payment assistance, grants, and working with real estate professionals can help, especially in more affordable markets like Columbus, Madison, and Pittsburgh.
While challenges remain, especially in high-cost cities, the cycle of unaffordability typically reverses over time.
