Gen Z planning a home purchase in the next year U.S. 2022

After the Millennials, Gen Z, or the adults born between 1997 and 2003, are next in line to enter the U.S. housing market. According to a survey conducted among over 15,000 respondents in the U.S., approximately 18 percent of Gen Zers were planning to purchase a home in the next 12 months as of June 2022. This was a decrease from the same quarter in 2021 when 21 percent of Zoomers were planning a home purchase. As house prices and interest rates continue rising, the decrease in home buyer sentiment can be seen among all generation groups.
