There’s been a lot of conversation about whether California’s first-time buyers—especially those between 25 and 34—can help turn the tide for our state’s homeownership rate, which has dipped to 54.3%. The reality is, this group is navigating a challenging landscape: high student debt, rising mortgage rates, and home prices that keep climbing. Add in employment hurdles and restrictive zoning, and for many, the path to ownership stretches well into their 30s and 40s. Experts see more movement after 2030, but the demand and desire are here today. From our work with buyers in Orange County, we know a tailored, strategic approach makes a measurable difference—even in a tough market. The right guidance and systems can help you position yourself ahead of the curve, no matter what the headlines say.
