In Q2 2021, the homeownership rate for those under 35 years old was 37.8%, compared to 39.1% this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen breaking down homeownership rate growth by age group, younger households were driving homeownership growth,\u201d Odeta Kushi, <strong>First American<\/strong>\u2019s deputy chief economist, said in a statement. \u201cIn the second quarter of 2022, the homeownership rate for households under 35 years old increased by 1.3 percentage points on a year-over-year basis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, approximately 89.3% of housing units in the U.S. were occupied during the second quarter and 10.7% were vacant. Owner-occupied housing units made up 58.8% of all housing units and renter-occupied made up 30.6%, while 8.1% were recorded as vacant year-round and 2.5% were vacant for seasonal use. Out of all the housing units, 1.8% were vacant for rent, 0.5% were <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/housing-inventory-nationwide-rises-for-the-first-time-in-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vacant for sale<\/a> only and 0.8% were rented or sold, but not yet occupied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When broken down by location, homeowner housing vacancy was not statistically different in principal cities versus outside MSAs, with rates of 1.1% and 0.9% respectively. In the suburbs, however, the homeowner vacancy rate was just 0.7%. A similar trend occurred in the rental vacancy rate, which was 6.7% and 5.8% in outside MSAs and principal cities, respectively, but 5.2% in the suburbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While respondents who identified as non-Hispanic white had the highest homeownership rate at 74.6%, the <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/nar-says-its-doing-what-it-can-on-housing-discrimination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">homeownership rate among Black respondents<\/a> was the highest it has been since <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/nearly-one-fifth-of-black-applicants-are-denied-a-mortgage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Q1 2021<\/a>, coming in at 45.3%. Among Hispanics, the homeownership rate was 48.3% and among Asians, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders it was 61.1%. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regionally, the Midwest had the highest homeownership rate at 70.1%, followed by the South at 67.8%, the Northeast at 62.1% and the West at 60.9%. The South had the highest rental vacancy rate at 7.0%, followed by the Midwest at 6.6%, the West at 3.8% and the West at 4.3%. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting the rise in homeownership during the second quarter, mortgage balances shown on consumer credit reports increased by $207 billion during the second quarter of 2022, standing at $11.39 trillion at the end of June, compared to the $10.44 trillion recorded a year ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkfed.org\/microeconomics\/hhdc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to <strong>Federal Reserve Bank of New York<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDeclining affordability may temper millennial homeownership demand in 2022. Nevertheless, the lifestyle choices that highly correlate with homeownership will persist. Buying a home is both a financial and a lifestyle decision,\u201d Kushi said in a statement. \u201cDespite growing affordability headwinds, millennials continue to transition into their prime home-buying age and will remain the driving force in potential homeownership demand in the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Census Bureau data shows a slight increase in the homeownership rate compared to a year ago during the second quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34740,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1760],"class_list":["post-3367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
