The typical first-time homebuyer may not be who you think he or she is. A new report from Zillow says that rather than the young shopper eager to become a homeowner but worried about qualifying for a mortgage, nearly a third of today’s buyers are over the age of 40 and have a “ton of buying power.” They are confident about their finances and might even pay cash for their homes. Older first-time homebuyers have lower incomes (a median of $57,500) than the younger cohort ($72,500) but they told the Zillow surveyors they were not particularly concerned about qualifying for a mortgage and indeed they needn’t have been.
