CLick HerePros of a Custom Built Multigenerational Home
Multigenerational living is increasingly popular, especially in regions around Albany, Oregon, where rising housing costs and a desire for closer support are encouraging multiple generations to share a roof. This arrangement involves multiple generations, such as parents, children, and grandparents, living together under one roof, which can provide numerous benefits for each generation.
Here are some of the key advantages of choosing a custom built multigenerational home:
Reduced Financial Burden
As housing prices remain steep, buyers are looking for creative ways to save. By dividing costs such as maintenance, groceries, and mortgage and utility payments among generations that would otherwise be paying for these individually, multigenerational living situations can make homeownership more affordable and free up funds for other goals.
Enhanced Support
Older generations can age at home with the help of loved ones and young ones can thrive and learn with a small “village” of support. Bonds will grow stronger and the household can save loads of money on childcare and eldercare. Plus, a couple extra sets of hands for dinner prep, laundry, and other household chores certainly couldn’t hurt!
Bigger Customization Budget
Pooled budgets allow for custom features and touches that cater to everyone's needs and preferences – considering everything from privacy and accessibility to comfort and extra amenities.
Custom Layout
Ability to design a layout that works for everyone, including "no-step" homes.
Increased Property Value
Multigenerational homes are hot and in demand. If you all decide the living arrangement isn’t a good fit, there will likely be a large pool of buyers interested in multigenerational homes.
When deciding between building a new home or buying an existing one, it's helpful to weigh several key factors. Here’s a comparison to help:
- Cost: Buying an existing home is generally cheaper due to lower initial investment and market conditions [1].
- Customization: Building allows more control over design and features but can be more expensive depending on customization [2].
- Time: Buying is quicker, while building takes time for planning, permits, and construction [2].
- Market Conditions: Supply constraints may influence costs and availability, impacting the decision [3].
- Investment: Buying offers immediate occupancy and potential for value appreciation; building may require longer-term investment for value to match costs [4].
