First-Time Homebuyers Benefit from Low Rates

First-Time Home Buyers Drive Surge in Housing Market Amid Lower Interest Rates

April 5, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new wave of first-time homebuyers is entering the U.S. housing market, taking advantage of lower mortgage rates and increased inventory, according to a report released this week by the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

After years of soaring prices and fierce competition, the market has seen a 12% increase in home purchases by millennials and young families over the past quarter. The shift comes as the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cuts have brought 30-year fixed mortgage rates down to 5.8%, their lowest level since early 2023.

'Many buyers who were priced out during the pandemic frenzy are finally finding opportunities,' said NAR Chief Economist Lisa Martinez. 'Builders are also responding with more affordable starter homes, easing some of the supply constraints.'

However, challenges remain. While prices have stabilized in some regions, high demand in growing cities like Austin, Nashville, and Raleigh continues to push values upward. Experts warn that without significant new construction, affordability could slip away again.

For buyers like Jessica and Mark Reynolds of Denver, the timing was perfect. 'We’d been renting for years, saving up,' said Jessica. 'When rates dropped, we locked in a mortgage before another rush hits.'

As the spring buying season kicks off, analysts predict steady growth—but caution that inflation and global economic shifts could still impact the market. For now, though, hopeful homeowners are seizing their chance.
