- Even at similar sizes, these properties list for more at $262 per square foot versus $215, reflecting features like in-law suites, second kitchens, and separate entries.
- Buyer interest is strong, with multigenerational listings drawing 13.5% more page views nationwide and selling in the same median 59 days as standard homes.
- The supply is concentrated in California, where Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, and Riverside hold the largest listing shares, and premiums can be modest such as 8.4% in San Francisco.
- In markets with scarce supply such as Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo, premiums are steep at 120%, 107%, and 94% and listings attract far more views, while the number of such households has grown to about 4 million with typical homes hosting five people.
