The average age of a first-time homeowner is 34, according to the most recent American Housing Survey data collected in 2009. Once first-time homeowners made up nearly half of all existing-home sales, but they now make up 35 percent, according to a recently released National Association of Realtors report.
That equates to Â£24,800 a year and means that the average first-time buyer property costs 7.5 times the average salary and the average home mover property costs 11.5 times the average salary. At Â£248,000 the average overall house price stands at 10 times wages.
