Here’s a statistic with major ramifications for our real estate market. It comes from economist Elliot Eisenberg of GraphsandLaughs LLC, whose “Brief Blog” I receive daily. A recent email read as follows:
“In 2015, the percentage of those 18 to 34 living with their parents was 39.5%, the highest level since 1940 when it was 40.9%. Of course, 1940 was one year removed from the end of the Depression. The rate then fell to an all-time low of 24.1% in 1960 and has slowly risen since with a recent big run-up.”
