Homeownership Up Among People Under 35

Who’s buying homes in the second quarter of 2019? According to recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the real estate experts at Zillow, homeownership rates are up for U.S. and Florida home buyers under the age of 35!

Homeownership rates for buyers under age 35 increased to 36.4% nationwide in the second quarter of 2019, up one percentage point from the first quarter of the year. Why are these rates climbing? Younger households are ambitious to achieve their American Dream of home ownership, and in many Florida real estate markets, owning a home is more affordable than renting!
