A new LendingTree study looks at where Gen Zers are buying homes and reports that 24% of Gen Z buyers don’t receive any down payment assistance.
Despite the ongoing economic turmoil wrought by the COVID-19 outbreak, many members of Generation Z (born after 1996) are attending college, starting their careers and even buying homes for the first time.
Gen Zers comprise just under 10% of potential homebuyers in any of the nation’s largest metros. But as the economy recovers and more of them reach adulthood, Gen Zers are poised to make an even greater mark on the housing market. While their overall impact on housing may be hard to predict, it’s clear that some Gen Zers are eager to join the ranks of homeowners sooner rather than later.
