In the 1950s, about 21%, or 32.2 million Americans shared a roof with their grown children or parents.\u003C!--more--> According to a recent \u003Cem>Pew Research Center\u003C\u002Fem> \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.pewresearch.org\u002Ffact-tank\u002F2016\u002F08\u002F11\u002Fa-record-60-6-million-americans-live-in-multigenerational-households\u002F\">report\u003C\u002Fa>, the number of multigenerational homes dropped to as low as 12% in 1980 but has shot back up to 19%, roughly \u003Cem>60.6 million\u003C\u002Fem> people, as recently as 2014.\r\n\r\nMultigenerational households typically occur when adult children (over the age of 25) either choose to, or need to, remain living in their parent’s home, and then have children of their own. These households also occur when grandparents join their adult children and grandchildren in their home.\r\n\r\nAccording to the \u003Cem>National Association of Realtors’ \u003C\u002Fem>(NAR) \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.realtor.org\u002Freports\u002Fhighlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers\">\u003Cem>2016 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fa>, 11% of home buyers purchased multigenerational homes last year. The top 3 reasons for purchasing this type of home were:\r\n\u003Cul>\r\n \t\u003Cli>To take care of aging parents (19%)\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n \t\u003Cli>Cost savings (18%, up from 15% last year)\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n \t\u003Cli>Children over the age of 18 moving back home (14%, up from 11% last year)\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n\u003C\u002Ful>\r\nDonna Butts, Executive Director of \u003Cem>Generations United,\u003C\u002Fem> points out that,\r\n\r\n\u003Cem>“As the face of America is changing, so are family structures. It shouldn’t be a taboo or looked down upon if grown children are living with their families or older adults are living with their grown children.”\u003C\u002Fem>\r\n\r\nFor a long time, nuclear families \u003Cem>(a couple and their dependent children)\u003C\u002Fem> became the accepted norm, but John Graham, co-author of \u003Cem>“Together Again: A Creative Guide to Successful Multigenerational Living,”\u003C\u002Fem> says, \u003Cem>“We’re getting back to the way human beings have always lived in – extended families.”\u003C\u002Fem>\r\n\r\nThis shift can be attributed to several social changes over the decades. Growing racial and ethnic diversity in the U.S. population helps explain some of the rise in multigenerational living. The Asian and Hispanic populations are more likely to live in multigenerational family households and these two groups are growing rapidly.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, women are a bit more likely to live in multigenerational conditions than are their male counterparts (20% vs. 18%, respectively). Last but not least, basic economics.\r\n\r\nCarmen Multhauf, co-author of the book \u003Cem>“Generational Housing: Myth or Mastery for Real Estate,” \u003C\u002Fem>brings to light the fact that rents and home prices have been skyrocketing in recent years. She says that,\u003Cem> “The younger generations have not been able to save,”\u003C\u002Fem> and often struggle to get good-paying jobs.\r\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>Bottom Line\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\r\nMultigenerational households are making a comeback. While it is a shift from the more common nuclear home, these households might be the answer that many families are looking for as home prices continue to rise in response to a lack of housing inventory.","\r\nMultigenerational households are making a comeback.
