Hello,


For the first time on record, Americans age 70+ now hold a larger share of real estate wealth than those ages 40–54. This shift is largely due to decades of home price appreciation, giving long-time homeowners a significant advantage. Meanwhile, many younger buyers are entering the market later and facing affordability challenges.


Here’s what’s driving this trend:


  • Long-term appreciation has built substantial equity for older homeowners
  • Higher mortgage rates have made it harder for first-time buyers to enter
  • Changing life trends mean people are buying homes later
  • The average first-time buyer is now 40 years old
  • First-time buyers make up just 21% of the market (a record low)
  • 

At the same time, there are early signs of improvement for buyers. Mortgage rates have dipped closer to the 6% range, price growth is slowing in some areas, and inventory is gradually increasing. While a large portion of real estate wealth is currently held by older generations, it’s expected to transfer gradually over the next 5–10 years—making timing and strategy more important than ever in today’s market.

If you’re even thinking about a move this year—or you know someone who is—I’m always happy to be a resource. No pressure, just helpful guidance so you can make the best decision for your situation.

Christine's Corner:

St. Patty's Spring Social ☘️

They say in Ireland, “the best ships are friendships,” and after our recent celebration, I couldn’t agree more. To everyone who came out—thank you. Whether we shared a laugh, a quick hello, or a longer conversation, those moments are what make this community so special. I’m incredibly grateful for each of you who has trusted me, referred me, or simply spoken my name in a room I wasn’t in… that kind of support means more than you know.



I’m also so thankful for my amazing team and trusted contractors who help make it all happen behind the scenes—it truly takes a village. ☘️ May your homes be filled with warmth, your days with laughter, and your lives with people worth celebrating.
