This report focuses on homeowners who answered a question about when they are likely to sell their home: 170 members of the Silent Generation, 718 baby boomers, 434 GenXers, and 382 millennials\/Gen Zers. The second section of the report focuses on homeowners who answered a question about why they are not selling: 519 baby boomers, 283 Gen Xers and 171 millennials\/Gen Zers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several financial and lifestyle reasons why older Americans are much more likely than younger Americans to stay put. Many baby boomers who own their home don\u2019t have a financial incentive to sell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, many older homeowners have lived in their home for a long time and simply prefer to stay put; roughly two-thirds (67%) of baby boomer homeowners have lived in their home for 16-plus years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked in the survey why they\u2019re staying in their current home, most baby boomers (55%) said they just like their home and have no reason to move, making that the most commonly cited reason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next-most common reasons are financial: 30% said their home is almost or completely paid off, 16% said today\u2019s home prices are too high, and 8% don\u2019t want to give up their low mortgage rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-80118 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/unnamed-50.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"552\" height=\"806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/unnamed-50.png 552w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/unnamed-50-205x300.png 205w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housing costs have risen significantly over the last several years. Home prices are up roughly 40% since pre-pandemic, and mortgage rates are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freddiemac.com\/pmms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">near 7%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, up from about 4% before the pandemic. Nearly one-third (31%) of baby boomers who own their home say they couldn\u2019t afford a home like theirs in their neighborhood today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older Americans hanging onto their homes is one reason it\u2019s difficult for younger Americans to find and afford houses, especially houses large enough to fit a family. Nearly nine in 10 (88%) of the homes owned by baby boomers are single-family homes; just about 5% are condos and 4% are townhomes. A 2024 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/empty-nesters-own-large-homes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin analysis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that baby boomers are twice as likely to own <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">large <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">homes as millennials. Meanwhile, more than 70% of\u00a0 millennial and Gen Z homeowners have minor children living in their home, compared to 4% of baby boomers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhile inventory is improving, supply is tight for young house hunters looking for family homes, especially in suburban areas where homes priced like starter homes&#8211;yet large enough for families&#8211;are scarce,\u201d said Redfin Chief Economist <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/author\/darylfairweather\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daryl Fairweather<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cWith baby boomers opting to age in place rather than sell, it\u2019s challenging for younger buyers to find affordable options that fit their lifestyle. But it\u2019s worth noting that even though many older Americans say they\u2019re not planning to sell their homes, many are likely to eventually part ways as it becomes harder to live independently and\/or keep up with home maintenance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One-quarter (25%) of millennial and Gen Z renters say they\u2019re not purchasing a home in the near future because they can\u2019t afford a home in an area where they want to live, making it the most commonly cited reason for not buying a home. The next-most common reasons: Financially unprepared for surprise costs of owning a home (23%), mortgage rates are too high (20%), and inability to save for a down payment (18%).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news for young homebuyers is that supply is up; there are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/sellers-vs-buyers-price-impact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">roughly 500,000<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more home sellers than buyers in today\u2019s market.
