Housing Market Update: Boomers Dominate Home Purchases as Applications Slip

In this episode of Real Estate Jerky Daily, Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly break down steady local market activity in Stanislaus County, slightly lower mortgage rates, and a fresh look at who is really driving today's housing market. They cover mortgage application trends, rising refinance volume, and the surprising reality that baby boomers now account for the largest share of home purchases. The conversation also touches on first-time buyer challenges, generational shifts in the market, and the broader affordability issues still shaping California real estate. It's another quick, practical daily update with real numbers, real talk, and the usual Real Estate Jerky banter.
