Many Americans who are part of Generation X—those born between 1965 and 1980—are in their peak earning years. They’re increasingly turning to real estate, and they often make up more than a quarter of home buyers in the nation’s largest metros, just behind millennials, according to a new analysis from LendingTree.
LendingTree researchers analyzed 2020 mortgage purchase requests in the nation’s 50 largest metros to identify the leading markets for Gen X buyers. The largest share of Gen Xers who are making mortgage purchase requests are in Memphis, Tenn., Jacksonville, Fla., and Atlanta. View the chart below for the full breakdown.
