There are a nearly limitless number of reasons you might be thinking about making a move this year. Among that long list, though, age is probably the biggest factor motivating your move. After all, the younger you are, the more likely you are to be changing jobs, getting married, and starting a family – all things that rank high on the list of reasons someone would be looking to buy a home. When you’re older, you’re more likely to have already settled in somewhere and less likely to have a reason to move. Perhaps that explains a new survey of Americans that found the youngest respondents the most likely to say they’re looking to buy. According to the results, 67 percent of Gen Z respondents said they plan to purchase a home this year, compared to 51 percent of Millennials and 49 percent of Gen X participants. On the other end of the spectrum, Baby Boomers were the least likely to say they’re planning to buy at 22 percent. Overall, the survey found 47 respondents are planning to buy this year, with 41 percent saying they believe conditions are favorable for buyers this year. (source)
