Gen Z: The Next Generation of Homebuyers

Tom Pantazis • August 7, 2023

I'm excited to see Gen Z entering the housing market. This generation is driven, ambitious, and tech-savvy, and they're bringing a fresh perspective to homeownership.


Why are Gen Z buyers so interested in homeownership?


There are a few reasons why Gen Z buyers are so interested in homeownership. First, they're looking for stability. They've seen the financial challenges that their parents faced during the Great Recession, and they want to build a more secure financial future for themselves. Homeownership is a great way to do that, as it provides a sense of stability and security.


Second, Gen Z buyers are looking for a place to call their own. They're tired of renting and feeling like they're not building any equity. Homeownership gives them the opportunity to invest in their future and create a home that they can customize to their own taste.


Finally, Gen Z buyers are looking for a way to make a difference in their communities. They want to live in places where they can feel connected to their neighbors and make a positive impact. Homeownership is a great way to do that, as it gives them a stake in their community and allows them to be part of the decision-making process.


Where are Gen Z buyers looking to buy?


Gen Z buyers are looking for homes in a variety of places, but they're particularly interested in affordable areas that offer a mix of city convenience and suburban space. They're drawn to neighborhoods with good schools, parks, and amenities. They're also interested in homes that are energy-efficient and sustainable.


Here are a few specific examples of places where Gen Z buyers are flocking:


Mid-size cities: Gen Z buyers are drawn to mid-size cities because they offer a good balance of affordability, amenities, and job opportunities. Some popular mid-size cities for Gen Z buyers include Austin, TX, Raleigh, NC, and Denver, CO.


Up-and-coming neighborhoods: Gen Z buyers are also interested in up-and-coming neighborhoods in major cities. These neighborhoods are often more affordable than traditional neighborhoods, and they offer a sense of community and culture. Some popular up-and-coming neighborhoods for Gen Z buyers include Pilsen in Chicago, Brooklyn in New York City, and Long Beach in Los Angeles.



Suburban areas with walkable amenities: Gen Z buyers are looking for suburban areas that offer walkable amenities, such as parks, shops, and restaurants. These areas give Gen Z buyers the best of both worlds: a suburban home with the convenience of city living. Some popular suburban areas for Gen Z buyers include Silver Spring, MD, Oak Park, IL, and Irvine, CA.


How can Gen Z buyers achieve their dream of homeownership?


There are a few things that Gen Z buyers can do to achieve their dream of homeownership. First, they need to start saving early. The sooner they start saving, the more time their money has to grow. They should also get pre-approved for a mortgage before they start looking at homes. This will give them an idea of how much they can afford to borrow and will make them a more competitive buyer. Finally, they should work with a trusted real estate agent who can help them find the right home for their needs and budget.
