What Ages are Buying Homes? What age bracket should you be targeting? Whether you’re on this side of the table or that side of the table this is a question you should be asking yourself. What does your ideal client look like? In this post-recession era your target market might look a little different than you’d expect. Take potential homebuyers for instance. According to the latest data just 36% of young Americans (35 and under) own a home. This is despite the fact that 90% prefer owning to renting. The problems facing young people when trying to buy a home are obvious especially in this kind of climate. Student loan debt is astronomical, tight lending standards and low credit scores compound the issue, and tough competition in the market – all these make it nearly impossible for young people to enter the market. How can you weave the fine line between making dreams come true and making realistic decisions? Where do you join practicality with idealism? It’s not easy but it’s out

Where do you want to be when you grow up? To answer this question and solve an issue that vexes parents across America, Livability.com just released its list of the 10 best cities for kids. Livability’s editors dug into a number of kid-friendly factors and built a list of cities that offer plentiful park space and stellar schools, and that get high marks for health. All corners of the country are represented, although cities in middle America snagged many of the spots on the list. We plucked one family-friendly home from each city. Our only criterion was to find a place with four or more bedrooms. And while Palo Alto doesn’t rank high for affordability, many of the other cities are in a better budgetary range.
