Why Millennials Are Buying Homes in 2025
Millennials once earned a reputation as the “forever renters.” Between student loan debt, economic uncertainty, and career fluidity, it seemed like we might spend our money on lattes, artisan tacos, and global travel rather than settling down with a mortgage.
But the narrative has changed.
Today, millennials—those born between 1981 and 1996—are the largest segment of homebuyers in the U.S., according to the National Association of Realtors. Even after living through the 2008 housing crash, rising rent costs, and a pandemic, this generation is embracing homeownership in their 30s and early 40s—and reshaping the market in the process.
If you’re a millennial thinking about buying your first home, here’s why True Homes should be part of your search.
First-Time Homebuyers Want Transparency—We Deliver
Millennials have mastered the art of online research. From comparing phone plans to analyzing ethical business practices, you know how to dig deep before making a purchase. That same instinct applies to buying your first home.
At True Homes, we believe in full transparency, honest communication, and empowering buyers with knowledge. With high customer satisfaction ratings and a strong presence in North Carolina and South Carolina, our reputation speaks for itself. You can find detailed reviews and stories from first-time buyers who trusted us every step of the way.
