Multigenerational living isnāt a fallback ā itās a strategy more buyers are choosing. š”
According to the National Association of Realtors, about 14% of recent home buyers purchased a multigenerational home.
This shift isnāt about compromiseāitās about being intentional with how a home supports day-to-day life.
Why more families are considering it:
ā¢ Shared housing costs in high-price markets
ā¢ Support for aging parents or young children
ā¢ Remote work flexibility
ā¢ More time together as a family
From a home-buying perspective, though, these purchases come with a few added layers.
What to think about early:
ā¢ Does the layout actually function for multiple households?
ā¢ Is there enough privacy (separate entrances, living areas, bathrooms)?
ā¢ Are there long-term considerations like stairs, parking, or future flexibility?
