Newton Market Fast Facts
1. A recent article titled, “Baby boomers dominate the market as first-time buyers hit record low“ on Inman told us what we already know: Baby boomer buyers are the most active buyer pool. There are more interesting facts in the article, such as Gen Z (1997-2012) accounting for 4% of buyers. Of course, in our local market, that share is likely even lower.
2. A recent article titled, “Boston area ranks among top destinations for young professionals, despite high housing cost” highlights that Greater Boston remains the third-best destination for recent graduates, with an average starting salary of $80,000 somewhat offsetting the region’s steep housing expenses.
