These days it might take a few extra steps to reach your homeownership goals, but it is still possible.

By getting into the market earlier, you are hedging up against inflation, building equity, and likely getting a home that is worth much more than what you could afford on your own,\u201d added Newman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Graphs-18.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Graphs-18.png 600w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Graphs-18-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Graphs-18-750x472.png 750w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Graphs-18-768x483.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Graphs-18-1536x967.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Graphs-18-2048x1289.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www150.statcan.gc.ca\/n1\/daily-quotidien\/220921\/dq220921b-eng.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Statistics Canada<\/a>, homeownership is on the decline for Millennials. The homeownership rate for those aged 25 to 29 years old dropped from 44.1% in 2011 to 36.5% in 2021, and for those aged 30 to 34 years old, the homeownership rate dropped from 59.2% in 2011 to 52.3% in 2021. This is markedly less than the homeownership rate for those over 50, where the homeownership rate is 72.8% for those aged 50 to 54, and 74.6% for those aged 55 to 59. With inflation remaining high and home prices unlikely to fall back to pre-pandemic levels, co-ownership may be the best option for Millennial homebuyers looking to build equity for a future home purchase on their own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople need to think of their home as a money generator for them because it&#8217;s a huge investment. You can hold onto your co-ownership property for 3 to 5 years, sell it, and then move up,\u201d recommends Newman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How it Works and What to Expect<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>So you\u2019ve got your finances all sorted and are ready to enter the market, but how do you choose someone to co-buy with? \u201cIdeally, there would be an app that could match like-minded homebuyers with each other so they could partner up,\u201d said Newman. \u201cYou want to find someone who has the same goals as you, whether that&#8217;s an acquaintance or business partner. You can even ask your real estate broker if they know anyone who can\u2019t qualify to live where they want solo, but could qualify with another person,\u201d suggests Newman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking of this arrangement as a business partnership will help the co-ownership run smoothly, which is why Newman also recommends working with a lawyer. \u201cThe lawyer would know how to draft the arrangement correctly and would look at all different angles, for example, if somebody\u2019s finances changed and they needed to sublet. The lawyer can plan for the what-ifs and make sure that the arrangement is equally beneficial to all parties.\u201d She also suggests working with a knowledgeable mortgage broker who is trustworthy and can problem-solve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/pandemic-home-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Purchased a Home During the Pandemic? Here\u2019s How Much It\u2019s Worth Now<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is finding the right property that could be turned into several areas and split up for the different owners. For this, you\u2019ll want to work with a real estate agent who has handled this type of arrangement before and can visualize how a property could be split up into different parts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last aspect you\u2019ll need to consider is the length of time you decide to co-own, which Newman recommends between 3 to 5 years. After that, you can use the equity you\u2019ve built in the co-ownership property to either move up into a nicer home of your own or continue into another co-ownership arrangement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes you have to slow down to speed up. Slowdown meaning you co-buy and then sell in 3-5 years, and this will speed up your ability to build wealth and equity,\u201d concluded Newman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering a move this fall, be it alone or as a co-ownership arrangement, let us help! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/buy-with-zoocasa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact us today<\/a> to speak with a trusted realtor about the home-buying or selling process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<div class=\"cta-left\">\n<div class=\"cta-title\">Have questions about co-ownership?<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-body\">Contact us today to speak to a Realtor near you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/sell-with-zoocasa\"><button class=\"cta-button\">Talk To Our Experts<\/button><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High borrowing costs are leading many would-be Canadian homebuyers to put their homeownership plans on pause.
