Home Shopping Trends: How first-time and repeat buyers are approaching the market (Mortgage Master Class Episode 2)

HousingWire presents the Modern Mortgage Origination Master Class, a four-part educational series presented by Zillow Home Loans. This educational series features four classes designed to bring the HousingWire community expert-level knowledge on modern mortgage origination and how today’s homebuyer navigates the homebuying process.

This episode features a conversation between Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media and Amanda Pendelton, Zillow’s Home Trends Expert. Amanda works to translate Zillow’s housing market data into actionable advice for homeowners, prospective homebuyers and housing professionals. 

The conversation focuses on current home-buying trends informed by data from Zillow, including demographic trends around age, stage-of-life and gender. Amanda shares data and expertise on what the modern homebuyer expects from their lender, strategies real estate agents and loan originators can employ to better serve clients, how homebuyers are confronting affordability challenges and some surprising tactics home sellers can deploy to maximize the value of their home.
