Question: what is the average age of first time home buyer?
Answer: The average age of first-time buyers has risen from 31 to 33 over the same 10 years. The over 65s are more likely to be homeowners than they were a decade earlier, with 79% of this group owner-occupiers in 2017-18, most having paid off the mortgage. More young people are renting and fewer expect to be able to buy.
