Information sources used when looking for a home to purchase in the U.S. 2023, by age

In 2023, about 88 percent of the respondents in a survey among recent home buyers had used a real estate agent to obtain information. Unsurprisingly, the youngest home buyers were also more likely to use a mobile or tablet search device.
