Baby Boomers: The Perfect Cash Buyers in Today's Market
The Californer/10334314

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Californer -- In current housing market with high mortgage rates, limited inventory, and unpredictability, Baby Boomers have emerged as the "perfect buyer". While younger generations struggle to secure financing, Baby Boomers have officially overtaken Millennials, now accounting for 42% of all home buyers, while Millennials have seen their share drop to just 29%.

What makes Baby Boomers the perfect buyer? The answer lies in their immunity to high interest rates. Unlike first-time buyers who are sensitive to every percentage point increase, Boomers are leveraging decades of accumulated home equity to bypass lenders entirely.

Recent statistics show a clear picture of this financial strength: half of older boomers (ages 68-76) and 40% of younger boomers (ages 58-67) are purchasing homes entirely with cash. For a seller, a Boomer buyer often means a cash offer with no appraisal gaps, no loan denial risks, and a faster closing timeline.
