Among the findings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The median home-buying age for active-duty survey-takers was 34 years old, six years younger than nonmilitary participants.<\/li><li>While they sported a lower average annual income, the typical military member spent $226,000 on his house. The average cost for a home: $220,000.<\/li><li>Eighty-seven percent of active-duty buyers bought single-family homes, 4 percentage points higher than the overall rate.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jgwentworth.com\/lp\/hl\/militarytimesLP.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-mco.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/5RJH47MLUJCIJA74ZETALIKTD4.jpg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why the demographic differences?

troops felt more secure in their jobs than most civilians, giving them the sense of financial stability required to become a property owner &#8230; even if your job might <a
