Charlotte first-time homebuyers are waiting until age 40 to enter the market
First-time homebuyers under 40 are unable to find affordable homes in preferred locations. This delay in entry is driven by the median home price in Charlotte, which now sits at $405,000. The barrier for entry is higher due to student loan debt and the difficulty of saving for a down payment. According to data from Realtor.com, the average age of a first-time homebuyer has climbed to 40.
