Many buyers entered the housing market for the first time in 2023. But who were these first-timers, and what did their homebuying experience look like?

Location, location, location … at least that’s how the old real estate adage goes, right?

Roughly 2.8 million millennials moved across state lines in 2022 — and a huge chunk of them moved into Texas, according to a report from StorageCafe.

Home might really be where the heart is. According to a new Zillow survey, 42% of recent homebuyers reported finding love after buying their new home.

Detached single-family homes remained the most popular type of housing, making up 79% of all home purchases during the past year.

The median area for a new single-family home fell to 2,191 square feet in the second quarter — the lowest recorded size since 2010.

Eighteen percent of millennials — approximately one in five — believe they will never become a homeowner, according to a recent survey from Redfin.

BrokeScholar examined population growth in 150 U.S. “college towns” — defined as cities with at least one major public or private university.

A fifth consecutive month of increases in the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index suggests the housing market recovery that began earlier this year is likely to continue.
