Generation X and Y: More Knowledgeable about Homeownership since Housing Crisis


The housing crisis has made Generation X and Y more knowledge about homeownership according to a Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, the online survey of 1,001 members during the Summer.  69% were ready to buy but unsure if they can maintain their lifestyle and the responsibility of homeownership while 61% have landed a secure job to start their path to homeownership.    

The future soon-to-be-buyers have stated that the tops three research before buying a home was home prices in prime neighborhood, interest rates and the securing a loan. I would say these are great areas to focus on. 

62% said that adjusting their lifestyle to save a home, 40% would work a second job or 23% would move back home with their parents.  

Sounds like the ups and downs of the housing crisis has influenced the Gen x and Gen Y about the risks and rewards of home-buying.
