According to the National Association of Home Builders, Special Study, 96.5 million households are not able to afford a median-priced new home.
Leena Bella Mayo, BuyJunto.com Founder, says according to Yahoo Finance, a typical American worker who is earning the median income of about $57,000 a year will need to double that salary to afford to buy a home in about one-third of U.S. metro areas. She continues, "cohabitating and house hacking have become the norm for many renters, and now co-ownership has become a preferred option for those who want to buy and extend their resources. The Wall Street Journal reports a 771% increase in co-ownership purchases between 2014 and 2021. The trend of co-ownership is increasing, and we need to provide structure and support for those who have chosen to co-own, which is why BuyJunto.com was created."
When it comes to co-owning property, not all transactions are created equal. "The process of creating a co-ownership purchase should include a solid legal agreement to avoid the costly expense of battling over responsibilities, expenses, and exit strategies after the fact", says Andy J. Gibbs, of Tueller & Gibbs, LLP, and a member of the BuyJunto.com resource network.
Wondering who the co-buyers are demographically? Yvonne Madrid, Senior Loan Officer with Luminate Home Loans, sees a growing number of co-borrowers across age demographics and various income levels, including millennials, multigenerational, and veterans who want to co-own property to make homeownership more affordable".
