Share of prospective home buyers who prefer a new home 2021-2023, by generation

According to a survey conducted among over 15,000 respondents in the United States, approximately 25 percent of home buyers who were looking to buy a home in the next 12 months would prefer a newly-built home as of the second quarter of 2023. This result reflected a significant change from 2021, when 33 percent of respondents preferred a newly built home. Among different generation groups, millennials had the strongest preference for new over existing housing (24 percent). During the same period, roughly 15 percent of U.S. adults were planning a home purchase in the next year.

根据一项在美国进行的、针对超过15,000名受访者的调查，截至2023年第二季度，约25%的打算在未来12个月内购房的购房者倾向于购买新建房屋。这一结果与2021年相比发生了显著变化，当时有33%的受访者偏好新建房屋。在不同年龄段群体中，千禧一代对新建房屋的偏好较现有住房更为强烈（占比24%）。在同一时期，大约15%的美国成年人计划在未来一年内购房。
