Some of the reason why the real estate market lagged a little in 2014 is grouped into our generations. Currently the Generation X’ers are the busiest in the real estate market. The Baby Boomers are moving on from their real estate investments. The Gen X’ers represent a small fraction of the Baby-Boomers and Millenials. The Millennials are going dictate when the real estate breakout year is going to happen. Traditionally the Millinnials frequently change jobs. Once they feel secure enough and settle into a career they will be confident to undertake a mortgage and that will bring fourth some major buying power.
Also First-time buyers have declined recently. Qualifying for mortgages has been challenging for these folks over the last 12 months. Currently first-time buyers represent a 27 year low at thirty-three percent. A U.S. Census reported that 50 percent of the people from 25 to 34 do not plan to buy a house within three years.

First-time homebuyers, Millenials, and everyone else are going to be able to take advantage of record low interest rates and save a lot of money.
