Why we checked itA specific national statistic about first-time homebuyer age that can be verified against housing market data
What we foundThe claim that the average age of a first-time home buyer is 40 is supported by NAR's 2025 survey data, but disputed by multiple large-scale datasets from the Mortgage Bankers Association, National Mortgage Database, and other sources that put the median age in the low 30s.
