The typical first-time home buyer in the U.S. was 40 years of age, an all-time high, according to an annual report released this week from the National Association of Realtors. The surveys were based on transactions between July 2024 and June 2025.Additionally, only 21% of purchases were from first-time buyers, an all-time low and roughly half of the 2007 figure.From a multifamily perspective, rental housing is now capturing adults for approximately an extra decade longer than it used to, primarily due to affordability and lack of inventory. While that is a boost to rental housing demand, the trend has been a drag on the economy and job market.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

So since the start of the year we've been talking about, speculating about, and gossiping about the Toronto real estate market over the course of this year. From reading off statistics we've seen, rumours we've heard from other professionals in that market, and headlines you see in the news about Toronto. Toronto real estate is ALL BAD, it's crashing, the correction after a 25 year bull run is here, and dog crate condos in Toronto is the Hindenburg that's taking everything else down with it! Well, that's all very dramatic. So we thought it best to bring in an expert in that market to break down what's really happening. Today's gueat is Alec Bowes from Indi Mortgage, a licensed mortgage broker with almost 20 years experience in the industry, who actually navigated the 2008 financial crisis, and who works in the GTA today. Please welcome Alec!Highlights of today's episode. 1.) First Time Home Buyers are no longer the driving force behind Toronto real estate prices. 2.) The market is softening with the banks being tighter on lending as you see people's appraisals actually come in below list and sale prices. 3.) The Guelph real estate market is actually in a very healthy place. Sellers are still getting their prices and buyers have time in the market to pick and choose, and negotiate a fairer market deal for themselves. 4.) Insurance fires. (Another rumour!) And so much more! Enjoy!Jason Paul902-220-7357jason@infinityrealestategroup.a@jasonpaulhalifaxrealtorAlec Bowes519-341-1299 EXT. 1alec.bowes@indimortgage.caMatt Legatto902-240-3304matthew.legatto@indimortgage.ca@mattlegatto.mortgages

One of the great myths of the modern economy is the idea that young people can't afford a house. Now, the facts are that for every house sold, about a quarter of them, sometimes a little bit more, about 27% are in fact first-timers. That figure has been remarkably solid over any number of years in any type of market. Can it be expensive? Yes. Do some people miss out? Yes. Are some areas better or worse than others? Yes. But in a world where the negative sells, if you can convince people that the young are victims, it can become very political very fast. Of course, no government can manipulate the market, and for all the governments that are promised a solution, it more often than not ends and tears. And for every lever you pull, there is a counter reaction elsewhere, which is why it is often best to leave the market to its own devices. Australia though is dabbling in housing as we speak. The latest scheme involves getting first buyers or first time buyers into their own place with a 5% deposit. Any first timer, any salary. Personally, I've always liked the idea of getting, young people into housing, easier entry, the better often the real impediment, and it's true here, of course, is not the mortgage, but the down payment. I mean, 20% of a million bucks, which is basically the equation in a lot of New Zealand is $200,000. That's a mountain for most and an insurmountable one. Even $100,000 is hard work, but what about 50? $50,000 5%, that's not hard. Small town New Zealand, you go to a cheaper place. $600,000 house, $30,000. That's doable. That's your average Kiwi saver. Why aren't we doing that? Do you lose on housing? Really? Is it a good long-term investment? Yes. In Australia, they kept the price to a first home type level. So for example, at the moment in Sydney, it's 1.5 million less in Melbourne, but what it will do is get more people into houses. Do people want that? Yes, they do. The Reserve Bank worries about a price surge, but this is being done ironically in the middle of a price surge. Australian housing is often running. The debate about affordability is raging hot, and yet the government is all for it. And note, it's a labour government. So what about us? Does our housing market need a boost? Yes, it does. The first timers need a leg up, see? What's stopping us? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The most powerful change comes from combining financial technology with a genuine desire to help people succeed—especially first-time buyers who often lack guidance and support.Timothy Griggs, CEO and Founder of Kribsavup, knows firsthand how heartbreaking it can be to deliver a mortgage denial to someone whose only mistake was not understanding the process. As Timothy explained in this episode, “They have a vision for their family. They have a good heart, but they have no idea about the steps to take to prepare for homeownership… That just hurts my heart and me wanting to help them prepare for homeownership.”That pain point inspired Timothy to create Kribsavup—a social fintech app designed to help users understand their finances, monitor their credit, and get ready for the mortgage process well before applying. Kribsavup links accounts, provides real-time credit information, and enables users to invite friends and family members to join them on the journey. “You can save together. You can improve your finances together. We're not sharing data. We're very sensitive about that. But the users can actually interact with each other,” Timothy shared.The app also brings in gamification and AI features to make the process less daunting and more engaging. Timothy described how users can compete with an AI character, Stuart, in a race to better credit and stronger finances. This approach aims to make financial health not just accessible but enjoyable, especially for young people and those unfamiliar with the complexities of buying a home.Kribsavup is currently available in app stores, and Timothy is inviting the crowd to participate directly in the company's growth through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Netcapital. “We are seeking to get help by going to our audience and investors to come on board to see our vision and to help us get this out to market, to get Kribsavup out to the market, get it out to the users, get it into our communities to be able to help users to be able to improve the process of home ownership,” Timothy said.By blending technology, community, and a clear mission, Kribsavup stands out as a tool designed not just to help people buy homes, but to transform lives and build a stronger path toward financial wellness. The opportunity to invest alongside the Kribsavup team makes this an especially compelling story for anyone who believes in the power of impact crowdfunding to change the world.tl;dr:Timothy Griggs shares how Kribsavup helps first-time homebuyers prepare for mortgage success.The app offers gamification, real-time credit info, and community support for financial wellness.Kribsavup is raising capital through regulated investment crowdfunding on Netcapital.Timothy's superpower is his faith-driven passion to help others achieve homeownership.Personal stories highlight the impact of encouragement, guidance, and community support in reaching financial goals.How to Develop Faith-Driven Passion As a SuperpowerTimothy's superpower is an unwavering faith and deep passion to help others achieve homeownership and financial security. As Timothy described, “It's my superpower, my faith, my passion to see this get into the hands of people that really need it… It's a passion to be able to help users in our communities to be able to purchase a home.” His drive comes from seeing the dream of homeownership diminish for younger generations and wanting to keep that hope alive, making the process engaging and accessible for all.One story Timothy shared illustrates his superpower in action. A longtime friend who owned a beauty salon wanted to buy a home but didn't realize her business tax filings made her ineligible for a loan. Timothy patiently counseled her, laying out specific steps she would need to take to qualify. She followed his advice, and a year later, Timothy was able to help her secure a home for her family. The reward of seeing her succeed—and knowing he played a part—motivated him to help many others with similar challenges, always providing encouragement and guidance through the process.Timothy's suggestions for developing faith-driven passion as a personal strength include:Encourage others, especially younger generations, to believe homeownership is possibleLead with faith and keep moving forward despite setbacksSeek out people and groups who share your mission to help othersProvide clear, actionable steps for those you mentor or supportCelebrate the successes of those you help to keep your own passion aliveBy following Timothy's example and advice, you can make faith-driven passion a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.
