Buyers in America are purchasing more "old" homes than ever before! With new construction activity having declined for more than two decades, it only makes sense for buyers to find interest in these older homes. In 2021, the typical home purchased was built in 1993 — 28 years ago. For comparison, in 2011, the typical home purchased was also built in 1993, suggesting that year was when home construction started to slow and the gap began to widen.

Another interesting fact: The younger the buyer, the older the home purchased. Around 11% of young millennials purchased a previously owned home as a fixer-upper. Compare this to just 3% of buyers over the age of 66!

Come to think of it, there are quite a few historic homes in Atlanta... are you interested viewing your options? 🤔
