And younger buyers have remained just as active in the first few months of this year too, according to the Journal, which cites data from realtor.com.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The large size of the millennial generation has led to predictions that they\u2019ll have a lasting impact on the housing market. Millennials are now the largest living generation in the US, having surpassed baby boomers, according to data from Pew Research Center. The largest segment of millennial births occurred in 1990, and people born in that year are just turning 30 now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe anticipate as they turn 31 and 32, we\u2019ll just see homebuying demand grow,\u201d Odeta Kushi, deputy chief economist at First American Financial Corp., told the Journal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First American is forecasting millennials to buy as many as 15 million homes in the next 10 years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Existing-home sales surged nearly 25% in July, reaching their highest seasonally adjusted annual rate since December 2006, according to the National Association of Realtors. First-time buyers comprised 34% of sales in July, up from 32% a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The pandemic and low interest rates \u2013 currently under 3% \u2013 are also serving as an incentive for young adults to finally buy, experts say.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cMillennials, they\u2019re roaring into home buying age,\u201d Rick Arvielo, chief executive of mortgage lender New American Funding, told the Journal. \u201cWhat the industry\u2019s been talking about for a decade is whether they\u2019re going to follow their predecessor generations in terms of their desire to own homes. \u2026 They have the same desires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realtybiznews.com\/millennials-are-driving-the-housing-market-rebound\/98759780\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Millennials are Driving The Housing Market Rebound<\/a> by Mike Wheatley | Realty Biz News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Younger home buyers aged in their 20s and 30s, who were once seen as being reluctant to enter the housing market, are now driving its recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic, &hellip;
