How Gen Z Is Buying Homes Younger Than Millennials And Boomers Did



In 2023, Gen Z led in homeownership among young adults, with a higher rate of homeownership at age 24 compared to millennials and Gen X at the same age. Despite their relatively small share of the housing market and challenges like high prices and limited inventory, many Gen Z individuals are determined to buy homes in the near future. This shift could have significant effects on the housing market and the broader economy.

This has to be the most misleading story I’ve ever heard . It’s like everytine they do stories on young people , they always analyze a small minority that are very privileged, and equate that to how most of Gen z is . In reality most of gen z could only dream of owning a home , or even having parents that can afford to help buy one.

@bankskids

I don't have any friends who are able to purchase the home by themselves that are under 33 years old. Most of my friends have either moved back in with their parents or theyre in horrible relationships for the housing benefits

@lindsayschutz

Meanwhile, I’m a millennial living with my mom because the “affordable” housing options in my area are limited to : condos with huge HOA fees on top of the monthly mortgage, houses that need extensive rehab just to bring them up to housing code compliance, or trailers that come with a $1600 a month lot fee on top of the $400 a month mortgage. At this point, renting is the most affordable option but it’s also the least secure unless you luck out and can get a housing voucher.

Leave a like if you plan to be a trillionaire in 6 years so I can make bogus stats too

@daniellord-vera6987

boomers are buying homes not millenials or gen z
