During the pandemic, many of us reexamined the meaning of home for ourselves and our loved ones. Today, that can be seen in the recent rise in multigenerational households. According to Jessica Lautz, Deputy Chief Economist and Vice President of Economic Research at the National Association of Realtors (NAR):

“Multi-generational buying may be a home where families live in the same home with elderly parents, children who have boomeranged back home, or other extended family members. While this is not a new concept of living, it is one which has gained recent popularity.”

And citing data from Pew Research Center, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) says:

“. . . multigenerational living has made a comeback in recent years, particularly after the 2008 financial crisis and during the pandemic.”

So, if buying a multigenerational home has crossed your mind, you aren’t alone. Depending on what stage of homeownership you’re in, there are different reasons it could be the right fit. The chart below shows responses to a recent survey from NAR about the reasons people have bought a multigenerational home:



Whether your motives are financial or focused on the people you’ll share your home with, a multigenerational home has distinct advantages. It can make homeownership more affordable, and it can help you best support your loved ones. As Lautz explains:

“Multi-generational home buying is a way for families to care for one another, support one another, and often buy a home that may have been previously out of reach. . . . The trend of multigenerational buying appears to be firmly established and one that could expand in the future.”

What our clients are saying  

Barbee Dream Homes did an excellent job selling our church’s rental home. They work hard to get your home sold. They are great with communication, advice and care about their sellers. I would recommend them without hesitation. If you need your home sold, you can trust them to give all they have on your behalf!

I have known Joe for around 8 years or more. He has always been a man of integrity and runs his real estate team the same way. It was a no brainer when we went to purchase our home to use Joe & Jenny.

 

~ Michelle Griffin

Joe and Bob had our house closed within a month of getting it on the market. They're super quick about returning calls and messages and really took care of us. They're also laid back, which helps uptight people like me :)

Joe has been are buying agent for 2 homes. No question he has earned his commission before, during, and after our purchases. Without his hard work we could have never gotten our 2nd house, and on top of that his referrals to various contractors has saved us thousands of dollars.

~ Lindsay Thrasher

By far the best agents I've ever used. Great service. They go above and beyond to exceed needs. Very professional and knowledgeable.

 

~ Kathy Jarzynka

We have worked with Joe on several occasions. He recently sold one of our rental houses for us. He was also the one we bought the home from as well as another rental house that we purchased with his help. Joe has always been honest and extremely helpful. I remember one time we were looking at a house and he told us we could look but that he wouldn't let us buy this house because it had too many problems and wasn't worth buying. He was very good at the negotiations and always had our best interest in mind. We recommend he all the time when we hear someone needs a realtor!

 

~ Pam Cliffe

Joe is very honest and hard working. When I purchased my first home he took care of everything made sure my family settled in to a nice house at an affordable price.

 

~ Aaron Meredith

I could not ask for a better Realtor than Joe Barbee. He is the most honest and trustworthy person I have dealt with. He never made us feel pressured to make an offer. It was a GREAT buying experience and we are so happy in our the home he helped us purchase!! He returned every call we made to him and was available ANY time we wanted to view a listing. I will use him again and I recommend him to everyone I know looking to buy or sell.

 

~ Chrissy Todd

Joe always returned my phone calls and emails promptly which was extremely important to me as I had dealt previously with a realtor who was not very responsive. He was very flexible with the times he was available to show me houses. He's very friendly, laid back and approachable.

 

~ Jessica Gaskins

Joe Barbee is our hero! He is very straight-forward about a house's assets and sort-comings and never tried to "sell us ON a house", but instead searched high and low for the perfect home for our needs, desires, and price, so that THE HOUSE sold ITSELF to us. His diligence and dedication continue to amaze us. Our lengthy circumstances presented him with numerous challenges and obstacles in the selling of our home and the purchase of another. But he hung in there with us from start to finish. Every issue that arose was handled quickly and professionally, and usually before we even knew there was a problem! I would definitely recommend Joe Barbee to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in Middle Georgia. We are extremely satisfied customers.

 

~ Domino Persson

Working with Joe was fantastic. He really took the time to ensure our needs were met. I have never seen anyone work harder to get the job done right and in a timely manner. Plus, his demeanor was so easy going that I truely felt that I was talking to an old friend. I would recommend him, without reservation to anyone in need of his skills.
