Why it matters: Homeownership is becoming increasingly out of reach, especially for young people.
By the numbers: In 1980, most Floridians became homeowners by age 30. In 2000, it was age 34, per the study by the University of California, Berkeley.
What's happening: Median U.S. home values have nearly doubled in the last decade. Meanwhile, household incomes have only grown by roughly 13.5% during that same period.
Zoom out: Across the U.S., buyers are anywhere from two to 17 years older than in 1980.
