Younger buyers are comprising a smaller share of the market than in previous years, as first-time home shoppers are being ousted by demand from repeat baby boomer buyers.

An analysis finds that home prices escalated at a torrid pace in August, forcing many prospective homebuyers to the sidelines with many continuing to be priced out of the market.

With plenty of cash on the sidelines and the ability to lock in record-low rates, homebuyers are seeing prices still heading upward in a market still low on inventory.

A new report finds that the continued struggle of home supply keeping up with demand has driven year-over-year increases to levels last seen in 2005.

A new report from CoreLogic has found that more baby boomers are choosing to stay in their homes rather than enter a tight market where their options are limited.

Potential homebuyers looking to take advantage of low rates are hitting some obstacles when shopping, one being the continued rise in home prices.

Reports show that the housing market is at its most competitive since the Great Depression, as low rates are not enough to force prospective homebuyers to overpay for a home.
