The Rise of Multi-Generational Living: Why More Families Are Coming Together Under One Roof

Multi-generational homes are having a moment. Picture “The Brady Bunch,” but swap the shag carpet for sleek hardwood floors and the avocado kitchen for stainless steel appliances. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 17% of homebuyers now prefer multi-generational properties—the highest percentage on record. Families are coming together for more than just Thanksgiving dinners; they’re buying homes together to tackle rising costs and enjoy the perks of living closer.

What’s Driving the Trend?

It’s no secret that home prices and interest rates are climbing faster than a gondola on a powder day. This financial squeeze has families banding together to share costs, making multi-generational living a practical and budget-friendly choice.

More Financial Freedom

By pooling resources, families can afford larger homes and split expenses like the mortgage and utilities. As Rick Sharga, Founder and CEO of CJ Patrick Company, explains:

“There are a few ways to improve affordability, at least marginally. . . purchase a property with a family member — there are a growing number of multi-generational households across the country today, and affordability is one of the reasons for this.”

Translation: Sharing a home with family can make life easier on your wallet, leaving you with enough left over to splurge on that ski pass.

Bigger Homes, Closer Bonds

A multi-generational home doesn’t just save money—it buys space. Space for everyone to enjoy privacy and time together. Plus, there’s something to be said for built-in babysitters and family dinners that don’t require a plane ticket.
