However, a new study by \u003Cem>First American\u003C\u002Fem>, \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.firstam.com\u002Fnews\u002F2017\u002Fsix-trends-poised-to-reshape-homeownership-demand-new-study-by-first-american-chief-economist-20170713.html\">\u003Cem>6 Trends Poised to Reshape Homeownership Demand\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cem>, \u003C\u002Fem>revealed reasons why homeownership numbers will continue to increase for Millennials.\r\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Millennials are the most educated generation in the U.S.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\r\nWhy does that matter? First American explains:\r\n\u003Cblockquote>\u003Cem>“Our model shows that, all other factors being equal, the likelihood of homeownership increases by 3 percent for those that earn a bachelor’s degree over those with a high school degree. The likelihood of homeownership jumps another 3 percent for those that earn a graduate degree.”\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\r\nThe more educated, the better the likelihood for homeownership.

According to an analysis by \u003Cem>First American\u003C\u002Fem>, the homeownership rate is 30% higher among married couples compared to non-married households.\r\n\r\nMillennials have put off marriage in the pursuit of higher education. As this group ages, more and more will marry and purchase a home.\r\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Parents buy houses\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\r\nAccording to the study:\r\n\u003Cblockquote>\u003Cem>“The homeownership rate is 1.7% higher for households with one or two children compared to households with no children, and it is 5.4 percent higher for households with three or more children.”\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\r\nThe report goes on to say that as Millennials grow older there may be an increase in not just marriage but also in married couples with children.
