Young Adults Forming New Households

 Back in August, we identified young adults between 25-34 years old still living at home with their parents as a group that was about to enter the housing market.

In a recent Wall Street Journal article, it was revealed that household formations dramatically increased the last 12 months:

  • Average Annual Formations during boom years – 1.25 million
  • Average Annual Formations 2008-2011 – 650,000
  • New Household Formations in last year – 1.15 million
