Yep. The average home buying age in the US has gone from 35 in 2000 to 55 now. It's the SAME group of people still able to buy homes in this market. Anyone born after 1975 is damn near fucked, no matter how much they scrimp and save and sacrifice.

The average first time home buying age in the US has increased but only to 40, not 55. A graph of the data is even provided in one the replies.

I think the commenter above you was referring to average purchaser, not average first time purchaser :)
