The survey covers information on demographics, housing characteristics and the experience of consumers in the housing market. and sellers also provide valuable information on the role that real estate professionals play in home sales transactions. continue to face tighter credit standards than seen in previous years. A notable finding from this year s report was the drop in first-time home buyers to a share not reported since in this year s report showed incomes of buyers continuing to increase and buyers this year more likely to have the financial capability to own more than one property. Additionally, there is a continuation of trends seen last year of an elevated share of married couples and suppressed levels of single buyers. Married couples who purchased a home have the advantage of more buying power and added financial stability their typical household incomes are higher than single households. Tightened inventory is affecting the home search process of buyers and the homes that buyers are purchasing. Due to suppressed inventory levels in many areas of the country, buyers are typically buying more expensive homes as prices increase. The number of weeks a buyer is searching fell in this year s report. Buyer s continue to report the most difficult task for them in the home buying process is just finding the right home to purchase. need the help of a real estate professional to help them find the right home for them, negotiate terms of sale, and help with price negotiations. Sellers, as well, turn to professionals to help market their home to potential buyers, sell within a specific timeframe, and price their home competitively. For-sale-by-owner sales remain at historic lows, while the use of the agent to sell the home stays at historic highs. Likewise on the buyer use of the agent is at historic highs as buyers purchasing directly from a previous owner or through a builder falls. This report provides real estate professionals with insights into the needs and expectations of their clients. What do consumers want when choosing a real estate professional? How do home buyers begin the process of searching for a home? Why do some sellers choose to forego the assistance of an agent? The answers to these questions, along with other findings in this report, will help real estate professionals better understand the housing market and also provide the information necessary to address the needs of America s real estate consumers Profile of Home and Sellers NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS 2
