Baby Boomers Remain Largest Share of Home Buyers

May 07,2026 | Posted By Dinorah Carmenate in re

The stats are in and Baby Boomers still lead the way in the number group of homebuyers in the US. . . and of course most of it is because they are downsizing and transitioning into simpler lives. This generation has definitely earned it.
This is a great article that lines out each generational group and where they fall as to homebuyers.

Gen Z: 4% (up from 3% last year)
Millennials: 26% (down from 29% last year)
Gen X: 25% (up from 24% in 2025)
Baby Boomers: 42% (unchanged from last year)
Silent Generation: 4% (unchanged from last year)

What’s great to see is that Gen Z buyers have come up on the scale. If you are thinking of making a move, looking to buy your first home or better yet your first investment opportunity, call me and let’s explore your options.
