starter houses
First-time buyer targets
Starter houses are modest, affordable homes purchased by first-time buyers—typically young couples or individuals entering the housing market.
The term implies these homes are temporary, a stepping stone to something larger as income grows and families expand: They bought a starter house in the suburbs while saving for their forever home.
Also called starter homes.
