Baby Boomers buying more homes than Millennials
Move over, Millennials — Baby Boomers are now leading the way in the housing market. According to the National Association of Realtors, Americans aged 60 to 78 now make up 42% of homebuyers, compared to just 29% for Millennials — despite Millennials being the country’s largest generation.

Houses on the U.S. housing market are aging faster than new construction can keep up, according to Redfin, and one Ohio city has some of the nation’s oldest homes.
Redfin named 10 cities with the oldest houses in the U.S. — cities where new construction has lagged for decades. The company notes that the median age of U.S. homes has increased from 35 years in 2012 to 41 years in 2025, indicating that fewer new homes are being built. Redfin says that this underbuilding has contributed to a more expensive housing market.
Here are the 10 U.S. cities with the oldest homes, and which Ohio city stands out.
Cleveland among cities with the oldest houses in the U.S.
Cleveland remains relatively affordable compared to other housing markets, but the city ranked No. 8 out of the 10 cities with the oldest homes in the country, with a median home age of 59 years. Redfin notes that 25% of the city’s homes were built before 1950, and just 1% of the city’s housing stock has been built since 2020. As a result, housing is getting more expensive.
Cleveland saw a median home price around $130,000 in late 2025, according to a housing market report from Redfin. However, prices climbed about 5% year-over-year. This reflects a broader trend statewide, as home prices in Ohio were up 5.6%, while the number of homes sold fell 3.6% and the number of homes for sale rose 7.4%.
Cleveland faces an intense housing crisis as supply remains low while demand remains high, fueling a tight market. Redfin states one proposal from the city to ease the crisis includes investing in modular housing to fill Cleveland’s 18,000 vacant lots with new homes.

As Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Mike Gansey begins a new chapter with the Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland will begin searching for a new GM to work with President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman.
While Altman has been the man behind most of Cleveland’s big moves, including trades like the James Harden deal this year, Gansey has been a key part of the scouting and development operations.
Here are three candidates who could replace Gansey and take over some front office responsibilities.
1. Brandon Weems
Weems could be the most logical candidate for the job, allowing the Cavaliers to make an internal hire. Weems is currently serving as an assistant GM for the team.
He was hired as a director of scouting in 2017 and was promoted to senior director of scouting in 2021. He has been part of several solid draft picks including Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jaylon Tyson, while also missing on picks like Isaac Okoro and Emoni Bates.
Weems still overlooks Cleveland’s scouting in his current possession, and still regularly scouts on his own for the team. He’d be a very logical choice to take over for Gansey, being able to help Cleveland get the most out of limited draft picks and help develop some late round talent.
2. Dave Telep
Once an ESPN analyst, Telep has been a key member of the San Antonio Spurs front office for more than a decade.
He was originally hired as a scouting coordinator, but worked his way up the ranks in the scouting and development department. In 2022 he was promoted to VP of basketball operations, where he helped draft Victor Wembanyama and the rest of the Spurs young cast.
He most recently has served as an assistant GM this season while the Spurs are having a terrific playoff run ahead of schedule. He’ll be a highly coveted prospect for any front office this year, but Cleveland could offer some serious money to acquire him and his development skills.
3. Matt Lloyd
One of the most experienced candidates who could be looking for a new home this offseason, Lloyd has proven to be a front office guy who is willing to make big moves.
He began his career in the late 90s with the Chicago Bulls, worked with the Orlando Magic for a decade, and has been with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the past few seasons.
Lloyd has been a part of a Timberwolves organization that has been active. Some of their splashes include swapping Karl Anthony-Towns for Julius Randle and Donte Divincenzo with the Knicks, and acquiring both Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley from the Utah Jazz.
Lloyd has helped lead Minnesota to two conference finals, and a second round playoff trip this year. Having a voice telling Altman to pull the trigger on franchise-changing moves could be the difference in Cleveland’s success soon.
