The National Association of Realtors' latest data shows a historic shift in the U.S. housing market: the typical first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down why first-time buyers are aging, what rising mortgage rates and record-high prices have to do with it, and how this trend is reshaping inventory, mobility, and long-term wealth building. We also look at what improving mortgage rates and growing supply could mean for buyers heading into 2026.
