In addition, also the largest number of sellers is part of that age group that now, after the crisis, they decide to put on sale their house since this one, that was mainly bought 10 years ago, was devalued by the Real estate crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Characteristics of Generation X<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The average age of this group is 43 years, the majority are married, and have a family of at least two children who still live with them. Your biggest motivation for buying a new home is re-location because of work or the need to acquire a larger or new one. In addition, it tends to be the strip that most buys single-family homes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<div id=\"span12 outer-wrapper\">\n<div id=\"wrapper\">\n<div id=\"container\">\n<div id=\"article-body\">\n<div id=\"center\">\n<div id=\"op-content\">\n<div id=\"resize\">\n<div>\n<p>Source: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/economistsoutlook.blogs.realtor.org\/2017\/04\/14\/generation-x-buying-the-biggest-homes-biggest-home-sellers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Generation X: Buying the Biggest Homes and Biggest Home Sellers<\/a>,\u201d National Association of REALTORS\u00ae Economists\u2019 Outlook blog (April 14, 2017)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately we have only heard of\u00a0Millennials and their importance in the consumer market but, really, we have to look at Generation X, since they are the ones that are pushing the housing market right now.
