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.
The average age of first-time mothers is increasing because more women are waiting until their 30s and 40s to start having kids and fewer women are having their first kids in their teens and 20s, the CDC report says. In 1970, only 1.7 out of 1,000 women were having their first child between the ages of 35-39 years.
