What’s Making Today’s Homebuyers Tick?
The CENTURY 21® brand explores the changing mindsets of Americans and what it means for tomorrow’s real estate agent.
A key part of the American Dream, homeownership offers a sense of belonging, stability and freedom—fostering a connection to community, with homeowners taking pride in their properties and neighborhoods. In recent years, however, this connection has felt out of reach for many Americans. In fact, in 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General released a report on America’s “loneliness epidemic,” which revealed that approximately one in two adults experience loneliness caused by social disconnection. Despite this feeling of separation and the recent economic challenges impacting the housing industry, today’s consumers maintain a feeling of excitement and joy associated with owning a home and the potential for connection of joining a community, according to a new consumer study commissioned by global real estate leader Century 21 Real Estate. In this month’s cover story, discover what’s driving the decisions of today’s buyers—what they’re thinking about as they embark on the journey of purchasing a home and what they’re looking for beyond the property itself.
