The Aging of the American Homebuyer: A 40-Year Shift and Its Economic Impact
by Marissa Berends | 2025/06/20

Over the past four decades, the demographic profile of U.S. homebuyers has undergone a significant transformation. In 1981, the median age of all homebuyers was 31 years, with first-time buyers typically in their late 20s. By 2024, these figures have risen sharply: the median age for all homebuyers reached 56, and for first-time buyers, it climbed to 38—both all-time highs.

The Implications of Publicizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
by Marissa Berends | 2025/06/18

In the wake of financial reform discussions and a housing market constantly shifting under economic pressures, the long-debated question of whether to publicize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—two government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that underpin the U.S. mortgage market—has regained momentum. As policymakers weigh the pros and cons of transitioning these entities from conservatorship into fully public companies, the implications for the mortgage industry are profound and multifaceted.

The Shift to a Buyer’s Market in 2025: What’s Driving the Change
by Marissa Berends | 2025/06/17

After years of an aggressive seller’s market characterized by bidding wars, sky-high prices, and historically low inventory, the U.S. housing market has finally pivoted in 2025 — and buyers are beginning to regain the upper hand. This long-anticipated shift has been driven by a combination of economic, demographic, and policy-related factors that have cooled demand, boosted inventory, and leveled the playing field between buyers and sellers. The result is a notable turning point: a buyer’s market, where home seekers now have more choices, more negotiation power, and more time to make decisions.

AI as a Tool for Title Searchers

by TitleTrackr | June 11, 2025

It’s true: title searches are high-stakes. A missed lien or misread legal description can delay closings or trigger legal nightmares. But it’s also true that the manual process of abstracting and compiling reports is time-consuming, inconsistent, and highly dependent on local knowledge and human bandwidth. That’s why real innovation matters—and that’s where TitleTrackr comes in.

USA-based Abstractors - Part 1
by Denise. Williams. | 2025/01/31

I recently came across an insightful webinar that could be beneficial for USA-based Abstractors. Although I have no direct connection to it, this session sheds light on the role of Attorneys General and state-level actions impact the title industry.

Why does this matter? As we continue to navigate challenges in the Abstract industry, it's essential that we stay attuned to our state governments. The more we understand how these governing bodies work, the better equipped we'll be to protect and strengthen the USA-based Abstract industry, and ensure jobs stay in the USA.

I encourage everyone to take a look at the webinar, stay informed, and stay involved. Together, we can help secure the future of our industry and jobs that rely on it.
