Overview

We're excited to share the latest edition of our annual report on the state of home co-ownership in the US.

This year, we draw on survey data from 1,954 co-buyers and co-owners across 601 groups in 50 states and Washington, D.C. We also share insights gleaned from dealing with thousands of co-owners at every stage since 2016.

💡 A few fast facts...

  • 29% of home purchases involve co-buyers—friends, relatives, couples, or groups.
  • Across the US, there are now 58 million co-owners.
  • The average number of co-owners in a group is 3.3.

Home co-ownership isn't confined to San Francisco and New York City, nor is it a passing fad led by folks who subscribe to alternative lifestyles. Quite the opposite: co-ownership is mainstream.

Despite how popular it's become, there's a lot of work to do. Co-ownership remains poorly understood and largely unsupported by the systems that make homeownership possible.

What's inside

In our 2024 report, we cover a lot of ground and answer many questions:

Who co-owns homes?

What does co-ownership look like?

What are the challenges?

What do timelines look like?

Where do folks co-own?

Why do folks co-own?

We also explore trends, headline challenges, and opportunities going forward.
