The Changing Landscape of Homeownership: Gen Z and Millennials
TL;DR Summary
A Redfin report found that 30% of Gen Zers owned homes at age 25 in 2022, surpassing the rates of millennials and Gen Xers when they were the same age. Gen Zers benefited from a stronger labor market as they established their careers, allowing them to take advantage of rock-bottom interest rates and higher wages to break into the housing market. However, they still face hurdles such as a severe shortage of available homes and steep student debt.
