Let’s check out why they think it\u2019s a good idea to see if it might be a good fit for you, too.<\/p>\n

Why People Are Choosing Multi-Generational Living<\/strong><\/h4>\n

According to the National Association of Realtors<\/em> (NAR), here<\/a> are just a few key reasons buyers opted for multi-generational homes over the past year (see graph below<\/em>):<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"No<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Two of the top reasons had to do with aging parents. 27% of buyers chose multi-generational homes so they could take care of their parents more easily. And 19% did it to spend more time with them. A lot of older adults want to age in place, and living in a home with loved ones can help them do just that. If your parents are hoping to do the same, but need a bit of help, a multi-generational home may be worth considering.<\/p>\n

But buying a multi-generational home isn\u2019t just about being close or taking care of the people you love\u2014it can save you money, too. 22% of buyers say they picked a multi-generational home to cut down on costs, and 11% needed a bigger house multiple incomes could afford together.<\/p>\n

Sharing costs like the mortgage and utilities can make owning a home more affordable. This is especially helpful for <\/strong>first-time homebuyers<\/strong><\/a> who might find it challenging to buy a place on their own in today’s market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Axios<\/em> explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cFinancial concerns and caregiving needs are two of the major reasons people live with their parents (and parents\u2019 parents).\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How an Agent Is Key in Finding the Right Home for You<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Looking for the perfect multi-generational home is a bit trickier than finding a regular house. You’ve got more people, which means more opinions and needs to think about. It’s kind of like putting together a puzzle where all the pieces need to fit perfectly.<\/p>\n

If you’re into the idea of living with loved ones and want all the benefits that come with it, team up with a local real estate agent<\/a> who can help you out.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/h3>\n

Whether you’re looking to save money or want to take care of your loved ones, buying a multi-generational home might be a good idea for you. If you want to find out more, talk to a local real estate agent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
