marketing reports: MultiGen Homes for Sale - November Market Report - 11/18/19 11:56 AM

MultiGen Home Sales - November.
Multigenerational households can be a great option for all ages. The 2018 Pew Research Center study shows that 1 in 5 or 20% of all U.S. households are multigen families.  Although many young adults are part of this population, seniors are becoming a larger percentage of these households.  And the benefits are clear - it far outweighs institutional or assisted living. As a result, fewer seniors are now living alone than in 1990s.
 
We have lived this lifestyle for over a decade, and have specialized in selling these types of estates. Our multigen homes are located on acreage or … (10 comments)

marketing reports: Multigenerational Home Sales - Market Report May 2019 - 05/13/19 08:48 AM
 
Multigenerational Homes Are An Evolving MarketMultigenerational home sales are an evolving niche in the U.S. real estate market. This is true in Clark County WA as well. "Multigen" is where two or more generations decide to move back in together.
 
There are many advantages, financial and emotional. Often elderly parents move in with their adult children. This is much more desirable than a nursing home, or an independent living facility, which can be very costly. Sometimes grandparents are capable of share in child-rearing responsibilities. Everyone benefits from this arrangement.
 
 
 
Since we live in a multigen household, we specialize in finding and selling those … (14 comments)
