According to a report from Redfin, Gen Z has surpassed their peers in homeownership at the earliest stages of their adulthood, with 30% of 25-year olds owning their home in 2022.
Gen Z gained the competitive edge due to a healthy labor market, record-low mortgage rates, the ability to move somewhere more affordable thanks to remote work, and bumps in their paychecks.
Gen Zers have hurdles to homeownership, including the severe shortage of available homes and steep student debt, but overall, they are taking the real estate market head on.
