MULTI-GENERATIONALLIVING
Is it an option for you?
What is multi-generational living? It’s three or more generations living under the same roof. This living arrangement was very popular up until the 1940’s.
But it’s making a comeback. Between 2001 and 2016 multi-generational households increased over 37%. It’s not surprising that this number continues to grow yearly. There is no doubt this trend is increasing due to the pandemic, rising costs, and low housing supply.
Multi-generational living is attractive to many buyers. Those looking to enter the market. And buyers looking to upsize into a higher price bracket.
Canada’s aging population is also contributing to this trend. Downsizing in this new economic landscape is not what many seniors planned for. Yes, their homes are worth much more today than they expected. But the cost to ‘buy-down’ is way more, along with the rising cost of living.
More families are exploring the idea of pooling resources. To buy a home that will accommodate multiple generations under one roof. Not only is the initial shared purchase beneficial. Multi-generational living can allow for shared expenses and household responsibilities. It allows for more flexibility, child/elder care, security, and stronger family bonds.
