Rocket Companies Inc. said a Redfin report found the typical U.S. homeowner now stays in a home for 12 years, up from 11.8 years in 2024, as high housing costs and elevated mortgage rates slow sales and keep owners in place. The analysis shows especially long tenures in California, led by Los Angeles at 20 years, with tax rules such as Proposition 13 cited as a key factor limiting turnover and constraining inventory for first-time buyers. The report also notes shorter tenures in more affordable or high-turnover metros including Louisville, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Orlando and Raleigh.
