The pace of the younger generation leaving their parents’ homes is accelerating significantly, Fannie Mae’s Economic and Strategic Research Group notes within a new analysis. So what is making them finally leave Mom and Dads Home?
Millennial’s Once and for all Flee Mom and Dads Home
Young adults in their mid- to late 20s or early 30s living with their parents fell between 2013 and 2015-a period referred to as the economic recovery-much more so than between 2010 and 2012, when the economy and housing marketplace was still recuperating from the Great Recession, researchers note.
Young adults aged 24 to 25 in 2013 and 26 to 27 in 2015 residing with their parents dropped by 7.6% points. On the other hand, those who passed through that same age groups between 2010 and 2012 saw a decline of only 5.4% points, researchers note.
“Stronger income growth and an accelerated rate of marriage are likely two primary reasons why millennial’s are starting to leave their parents’ homes at a faster pace,” researchers note.
Millennial’s in their 20s or early 30s saw their income, adjusted for inflation, grow by a minimum of 23% between 2013 and 2015 when compared to 2010 and 2012. Further, their incomes have reached least 81% greater than between 2008 and 2010.
Also, millennial’s in their late 20s and early 30s between 2013 and 2015 were getting married at a markedly faster rate than their predecessors did in that same age range during the recession and the recovery thereafter, Fannie Mae’s report notes.
“Millennial’s’ accelerated rate of departure from their parents’ homes bodes well for housing demand,” Fannie Mae’s Economic and Strategic Research Group notes within the report. “Cohort analysis shows that the increased pace of leaving home has been accompanied by accelerated young-adult household formation.”
