The number of families choosing multigenerational living has reached an all-time high.
According to the National Association of Realtors, 17% of buyers are now purchasing homes with the intention of living with parents, adult children, or extended family. And in 2024, the top reason isn’t caregiving—it’s affordability.
More families are pooling resources to get into a home they love. With home prices and mortgage rates still high, combining incomes and expenses—like utilities, down payments, and everyday costs—is making homeownership possible for more Triangle residents.
And with lease-to-own Raleigh homes available, it’s never been easier to create a win-win for every generation under one roof.
A New Path to Homeownership for Families Teaming Up
Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer in Raleigh or relocating with extended family, buying a home together can open doors that might otherwise feel closed.
But traditional loans often present hurdles—especially if one household member is self-employed, recently graduated, or still building credit.
That’s why more Raleigh families are turning to lease-to-own homes as a smarter, more flexible solution that bridges the gap between renting and ownership.
How Lease-to-Own Helps Multigenerational Families Thrive
- Choose the home you love—from resale properties to new builds that match your lifestyle.
- Enjoy fixed monthly payments, often lower than a mortgage.
- Lock in the right (not the obligation) to buy for up to five years.
- Build wealth while you lease with appreciation from day one.
- Transfer or cash out your equity if plans change.
Real People, Real Solutions
We’re seeing it more and more: parents helping adult children get started, kids supporting aging parents, and families choosing shared living for lifestyle and emotional connection—not just financial survival.
One Triangle family recently combined their efforts to find a home big enough for grandma, a future nursery, and a shared office space.
With our Red Carpet One & Done Tour™, they found the perfect layout in one weekend—and moved in without the stress of a traditional mortgage.
Why It Works
Multigenerational living isn’t just practical—it can be joyful. It allows families to:
- Support each other through life transitions
- Save money and reduce financial stress
- Strengthen bonds across generations
- Start building wealth together, not apart
And across the Triad (Greensboro / Winston-Salem / High Point), where budgets and proximity to family often drive decisions, creative strategies like lease-to-own are helping families move forward together.
