Friends with benefits? Mixing business with pleasure is never usually advised, but given the high cost of getting on the property ladder, that&#8217;s exactly what millennials and Gen-Zers are doing to achieve home ownership.



According to<a href="https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/down-payment-survey/"> Bankrate&#8217;s 2024 Down Payment Survey</a>, over 50% of respondents said that finding the cash for a downpayment was out of reach. Thus, more and more people are pooling their resources with friends to own a home — or part of a home.<a href="https://www.zillow.com/research/buyers-housing-trends-report-2024-34383/"> Zillow</a> reported that 14% of homebuyers purchased a house with a friend in 2023, though the number fell to 7% in 2024. The home didn&#8217;t always refer to a primary residence but could include an investment such as a rental or flip.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Non-spousal Co-Home Buying and Multigenerational Living</h2>



Websites such as<a href="https://www.cobuy.io/blog/cobuying-coowning-home-2025-report"> Cobuy</a> and<a href="https://www.nestment.com/"> Nestment</a> help simplify the non-spousal co-home buying process. In addition, multigenerational living has also been on the rise. The increased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/02/43879096/rent-now-costs-90-of-minimum-wage-can-you-afford-anything-else">cost of living </a>means living with retired parents could be a cost-cutting endeavor for all concerned. <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2022/03/24/the-demographics-of-multigenerational-households/">Pew research</a> found that a quarter of U.S. adults ages 25 to 34 resided in a multigenerational family household in 2021, up from 9% in 1971. As with co-buying amongst friends, housing prices have fueled the increase in multigenerational households.



A<a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4396015"> 2023 paper</a> from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/43282160/professors-at-upenn-wharton-school-of-business-discover-hidden-metric-that-could-threaten-the-value">Wharton School of Business</a> at the University of Pennsylvania, found nearly half of adults aged 18 to 29 live with their parents, up from about 25% in 1960. The stats emulate numbers last seen during the Great Depression era.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Planning Ahead</h2>



While living with family members may engender family squabbles, living and buying with friends can bring about entirely different issues that can complicate finances and cause friendships to end.&nbsp;



<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/buying-inheriting-vacation-home-family-friends-tips-885d25ef?mod=article_inline">The Wall Street Journal</a> offers some of the following tips if you intend to buy a property with a friend:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Set Expectations In Writing</h2>



Use a lawyer to draw out a contract stipulating dividing expenses.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vacation Home Use</h2>



Many friends buy vacation homes together with the idea that each can use it. In these instances, the expectations are typically:



<ul>
<li>Is each owner responsible for having the home cleaned after they use it?</li>



<li>Who gets to use the primary bedroom if multiple owners are present simultaneously?</li>



<li>Can the home be used for Airbnb guests?</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>How will each owner exit the property? Do the other partners have the option to buy them out? If so, how will the property be evaluated?</li>



<li>If parents are leaving a property to their heirs, how are they passing it on? A trust, a sale, or probate? If there are multiple heirs, can they rent the property for income?</li>
