Of this 33%, 13% paid rent and 20% paid no rent. Of the next highest share was homebuyers aged 30 to 39, where 13% lived with parents, relatives or friends. * 64% of homebuyers aged 22 to 29 said the overall affordability of a home influenced their decision to purchase. * Homebuyers aged 40 to 54, Generation Xers, had the highest household incomes of any age group at $110,900. 11% of Gen X home sellers stated a desire to sell earlier but were delayed because their home was worth less than the mortgage. * Millennials as a whole made up the largest share of homebuyers over the past year (38%), marking the seventh consecutive year the group represented the most active generation of buyers. * Convenience to workplaces and commuting expenses were some of the most important decision-making factors. * 79% of older millennials hold at least a bachelor's degree, were also the most educated age group.
