Rocket Companies Inc. highlighted new Redfin research showing the typical first-time U.S. homebuyer was 35 years old in 2025, down from 36 in 2024, while the median age for repeat buyers fell to 47 from a peak of 52. The report links the shift to slightly improved affordability and more housing inventory, with average 30-year fixed mortgage rates easing to 6.6% in 2025. It also notes methodological differences with National Association of Realtors estimates, which report older median buyer ages.
