Kids Take the Wheel | Range Homes

Everyone is getting into real estate; it was only a matter of time before children got in on the action. A new analysis from Zillow Research shows that neighborhoods with the highest proportion of children under 18 are seeing the fastest price growth in the nation. That may not come as a surprise to parents who are currently house-hunting, but the data is worth exploring further.

  • Home prices grew close to 4% faster in areas with the highest concentrations of kids, suggesting that families are forming clusters in places where access to high-quality education and other resources are well established.
  • Millennials, now the largest generation by far, are now reaching peak child-bearing and home-buying age simultaneously. That’s expected to drive up prices in family-oriented markets for the next several quarters.

Reading between the lines, the data also shows a deepening preference for the suburbs, which is mostly what we mean when we say “family-oriented market.” That could be a silver lining for singles and families that plan on buying in cities, as the most rapid price growth should be concentrated in suburbs for years to come.
