For many Hispanic and Latino buyers, purchasing a home is more than just a financial milestone — it’s a decision deeply tied to family, culture, and community. Staying close to loved ones provides emotional support, shared responsibilities, and a stronger sense of belonging, turning a house into a true home.
Data shows that Hispanic and Latino buyers consistently make up about 6% of the homebuying market. In 2024, most buyers were married couples (64%), and many purchased homes for multigenerational living (22%), often to care for aging parents or accommodate adult children moving back home. Younger buyers are also entering the market, with first-time Hispanic/Latino buyers averaging 36 years old, slightly below the overall median of 38.
Family support often plays a key role in achieving homeownership. Eighteen percent of buyers lived with relatives or friends before purchasing, and 35% transitioned from renting. Affordability, neighborhood quality, and proximity to family were among the most important factors when choosing a home.
Nearly all Hispanic/Latino buyers (91%) worked with a real estate agent, emphasizing the importance of guidance and trust in the buying process.
Rooted in strong cultural values and a deep sense of connection, Hispanic and Latino homeownership is about more than property — it’s about building a future that keeps family at the center.
