13.9M U.S. Homes Could Be Released | Experience Matters!

Older US owners are projected to release 13.9M owner-occupied homes from 2026 through 2036, gradually adding inventory to a market long short on listings.
Most projected supply skews larger: 9.9M three- or four-bedroom homes and 3.6M with five-plus bedrooms, versus just 380K starter homes with two bedrooms or fewer.
Older generations currently own 36.7M homes, a total projected to decline to 22.8M by 2036 as households consolidate, rent, relocate or enter care.
That turnover averages 1.39M homes yearly, but not every property will hit the market; added family-home inventory could give move-up buyers more choices.
Entry-level relief looks limited: only ~38K smaller homes per year are expected to turn over, so first-time buyers may still face tight affordable supply.
