With the last year bringing new routines into our everyday lives, we had to learn to adjust quickly to new norms and practices of living. We had to reevaluate our lives and learn new methods to conduct ourselves moving forward. Everything, from the way we work to our needs at home, shifted in a moment’s notice and we learned to adjust accordingly. During this process we also figured out new ways to support our extended family. 

We witnessed an increase of families moving their senior aged relatives into their homes, leading homebuyers to invest in multigenerational homes to help accommodate. Buyers are more adept to purchasing a multigenerational home now more than ever.

There are two main reasons why families are buying multi-generational houses to assist and aid elderly family members in the long run. After the pandemic, there was a steady increase of families taking care of their aging parents with a rise of 3%. Now, there is also an influx of homebuyers that are trying to spend more time with their aging parents amongst the challenges of the pandemic.
