Keller Williams First Time Buyers Study

Earlier this year, Keller Williams Research conducted a study of first time-buyers and here’s a few of the findings:

1. The median age was 28, significantly down from where it was four years ago at 32.
2. Location or Neighborhood was the No. 1 “must-have” for 36% of buyers.
3. 25% saw 5 or less homes before writing an offer, the average buyer saw 10 homes.
4. 2 out of 5 first-time buyers purchased a distressed property.
5. 2 out of 3 sellers paid at least part of the buyer’s closing costs.
6. 1 in 4 had help from their family for the down payment.
