What First-Time Buyers REALLY Want in 2025

Forget luxury upgrades and over-the-top amenities, first-time homebuyers 
are focused on the essentials: Affordability, efficiency and practicality.

Affordability
First-time buyers are adjusting expectations, looking at smaller homes in more affordable markets or seeking downpayment assistance.

Move-in ready
Renovations are expensive, so first-timers are on the hunt for turnkey properties.

Energy efficiency
Features like smart thermostats and Energy Star-rated appliances are highly desirable and help reduce monthly expenses.

Multigenerational
Many first-timers are teaming up with their families to cut costs by buying homes that can comfortably fit multiple generations.
