"Times are hard and everything is very expensive," says real estate agent Rashi Malhotra. "With student loans and high costs of living, many young couples decide to live together so they can pool their resources to afford a larger space in the neighborhood of their choice."
Real estate agent Angela Carrasco observes, "When she takes Gen Z couples on home tours, she says the 'vibes' are totally different from what she gets when she takes older couples to see properties. 'There is no romanticism or talk about architectural styles or historical zones,' she says. 'It's about price and square footage - that's it.'
A recent Realtor.com survey found that 80 percent of Gen Zers reported that either money, logistics, or both contributed to their decision to move in with a romantic partner, compared to just 56 percent of Gen Xers and 44 percent of Baby Boomers.
