For Millennials and soon Gen Z and more, the dream of homeownership is slipping further out of reach. Rising costs, stagnant wages, and limited inventory have created a perfect storm, making it nearly impossible for many to buy homes in the areas they want to live.
This isn’t just a financial challenge; it’s a loss of identity, pride, and community that comes with owning a home. For all its practicality, renting often lacks the emotional connection and stability that homeownership provides.
THE HARD NUMBERS MILLENNIALS FACE:
–Home prices outpace income growth: In the last decade, home prices have risen 4.4% annually, while incomes have only grown by 2.1% (WSJ).
–Aging into rentals: The median age of first-time homebuyers is now 38, up from 29 in the 1980s, making Millennials the generation with the longest delay in homeownership (NY Post).
–High rents make saving impossible: Nearly 40% of renters spend over 30% of their income on rent, leaving little to save for a down payment (Harvard).
The result? Millennials are forced to settle—living in areas that don’t align with their goals, sacrificing the pride and stability that come with owning a home, and delaying major life milestones like starting a family or building generational wealth.
