Co-Buying has gained popularity in the past few years but with housing prices at an all-time high, up more than 43% over the last 2 years, and a recession looming, buyers are seeking smaller mortgages, and “house hacking” has quickly become the new norm. Launching today out of beta, Pairadime, a new end-to-end fractional ownership solution on a mission to simplify the co-buying process, conducted a survey of 1000 millennials in the US around their outlook on home buying. It turns out that millennials are looking for smart solutions to achieve their home ownership dreams.
Historically, people who purchased homes were married couples and single people. Now, with marriage rates declining, home prices out of reach, and interest rates increasing, the profile of today’s homebuyer has drastically changed, but there hasn’t been a solution to address the new norm. According to the survey only 4% of millennials say they are waiting to buy until they get married.
According to a recent Zillow survey, half of new homebuyers said the process “left them in tears,” with Gen Zers and Millennials “far more likely to cry at least once during their home-buying journey. According to Pairadime’s findings, 36% would be willing to surrender their independence and move home to save money for their dream home. And those who did buy a home with an unmarried romantic partner and then broke up, realized they had no legal recourse and went through a “Millennial Divorce”
Despite all of this, Millennials aren’t the freeloaders they are perceived to be. While recent reports suggest that the bank of mom and dad has been the wind beneath many millennials’ wings when it comes to buying a house, Pairadime’s study found that 2.5x more millennials said they would prefer to receive financial assistance from their parents as a co-investment rather than a gift (51% versus 21%).
While Millennials aren’t looking for a handout from their parents, 45% said they are looking for a real estate agent who is experienced in co-buying to help them through the process, and 36% say they would co-buy with someone they weren’t married to if it meant they could get a bigger mortgage. When it comes to who they are willing to live with, 60% say they would prefer to co-buy with a family member, friend, or a person they matched with from an open marketplace, compared to only 25% who said they would prefer to work with a corporation who took equity in exchange for financial assistance.
