The Top Benefits of Buying a Multi-Generational Home

Has the idea of sharing a home with loved ones like your grandparents, parents, or other relatives crossed your mind?
If so, you’re not alone.
More buyers are choosing to go this route and buy a multi-generational home.
Here’s a look at some of the top reasons why, to see if a home like this may be right for you too.

Why Buyers Are Opting for Multi-Generational Living

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), two of the top reasons buyers are opting for multi-generational homes today have to do with affordability.
(see graph below):

First-time buyers are focused most on cost savings – with 28% saying this was a key reason for them.
By pooling their resources with others, they can share financial responsibilities like mortgage payments, utilities, and more to make homeownership more affordable.
This is especially helpful for those first-time homebuyers who may be finding it tough to afford a home on their own in today’s market.

Buyers are also turning to multi-generational homes so they can more easily afford their dream home.
Both first-time (28%) and repeat buyers (18%) chose to live with others so they could buy a larger home.
When everyone chips in and combines their incomes, that big dream home with more space could be more within reach.

But multi-generational living isn’t just about the financial side of things.
According to the same study from NAR, 23% of repeat buyers chose to buy a multi-generational home to make it easier to care for an aging parent.
Many older adults want to age in place and a multi-generational home can help make that possible.
For those older adults, it gives them an opportunity to maintain their quality of life while being surrounded by their loved ones.

Financial concerns and caregiving needs are two of the major reasons people live with their parents (and parents’ parents).
