Across the real estate sector, multigenerational living has emerged as a beneficial solution for many families. As the older generation ages, they’re cared for by loved ones. Younger generations are supported by their parents in sharing the costs and responsibilities of homeownership, and grandparents are available to help raise grandchildren.

As noted by Kylie McCollough, Luxury Property Specialist at Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty, demand for multigenerational living among luxury clientele is especially high in second-home markets like her area of Newport, Rhode Island.

“Buyers are looking for a place their children and grandchildren will want to spend summers and holidays,” she says. “Conversely, young families with two working parents are opting for a guest house or in-law suite for their parents to liveand help with childcare.”

So what are buyers looking for, and how can agents deliver? According to Cynthia Ruggiero, a Real Estate Professional with Kienlen Lattmann Sotheby’s International Realty, the priority for many is a site with multiple dwellings.

“At the moment, I’m representing a property with two separate homes on the property, one of which is actually deeded for ‘a relative who is older than 55,’” she says. “I’m also selling a compound with six separate standalone residences on almost 200 acres.”

But separate buildings aren’t always necessary. “My parents built a vacation home so that the whole family could visit,” says McCollough. “They added a separate wing with its own kitchen, deck, and bath that feels like a getaway for us. I always tell my clients: If you build it, they will come.”

The multigenerational home checklist

Cynthia Ruggiero – Kienlen Lattmann Sotheby’s International Realty

Based on her client’s wish lists for an ideal multigenerational home, McCollough suggests agents market homes with these five factors:

The size of the property needs to be able to accommodate guest houses or in-law suites, along with plenty of land for outdoor living. Bonus points if it has a pool, or is near a lake or beach.
Depending on the age of the homeowner’s parents and children, walkability matters. “A buyer may sacrifice yard space in favor of their family being able to walk to the tennis club and get a coffee, or to a summer job.”
With aging relatives, accessibility is a top concern for adult children purchasing a home with their parents in mind. “First-floor access is top of the list, along with proximity to good medical care.”
Different areas should accommodate different ages and activities. “Finished basements are a huge plus. With games rooms and movie screens, kids can have their own space, and the adults can be upstairs.”
A sense of separation is crucial. Private entrances allow family members to come and go as they please, and quiet areas allow residents to focus on work without worrying about their relatives disturbing them.

Marketing the multigenerational home

Kylie McCollough – Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty

While some homes cater to multigenerational buyers, Ruggiero notes that’s not always the case. “Sometimes the municipality will not allow the space to be advertised as an apartment, or have a full kitchen, so advertising can be tricky,” she says.

“I make sure to advertise the separate entrances, and have the photos that clearly demonstrate the space for a guest or nanny suite,” she adds, since buyers will understand that a nanny suite can easily become a granny suite. “I also provide floor plans that buyers can look at and decide which rooms they are going to be using for this type of living.”

In order to showcase a property’s multigenerational potential, McCollough often features actors of diverse ages in her listings’ video marketing — for example, portraying an extended family hosting a holiday get-together or a large dinner party.

There are also clever techniques to show how a home can be modified for multigenerational living. “Adding a leaf and extra chairs to dining tables is great for this during tours and open houses,” says McCollough. “Split king beds are also ideal for versatility, and setting them as twins for staging photos is a great way to show potential for grandchildren’s rooms.”

Make sure the whole family is aligned

Kylie McCollough – Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty

Whether part-time or full-time, having a multigenerational home can be extremely fulfilling. “It’s great to see clients make real estate decisions that bring their families together year-round or for summers and holidays,” says McCollough. “If parents and their children are sharing costs, they can afford something really special for everyone — and enjoy knowing that they’re not just investing in a property, but in spending time together.”

Nelson Taylor Featured in the Wall Street Journal

by Mott & Chace Sotheby's International Realty

TAKING A CHANCE

Nelson Taylor, a realtor and founding partner of the Blackstone Team at Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty in Providence, says he “tries to protect first-time homebuyers and other buyers without deep pockets who are not comfortable with removing those contingencies entirely. They can do this by putting a cap of, say, $40,000 to $50,000 on an appraisal waiver.”

“Many are also not comfortable removing an inspec- tion of a property before they buy it,” he says. “So we put a clause into their contract saying they reserve the right to conduct an inspection but will not negotiate any individual items that come up during an inspection that will cost less than $10,000 or $20,000 to repair.”

A third concession is the subject of a cautionary tale. Taylor explains, “Our market is extremely tight now, and lots of sellers don’t have a place to go. I often suggest that younger buyers who are living in flexible situations like rentals allow their sellers to live in the home rent-free after the closing for 45 to 90 days. This is a big issue for sellers who are waiting for a new home to be finished or are still looking for a new home to purchase. The incentive often closes the deal for my buyers.”

Unless, of course, the sellers have a suitable hous- ing contingency, which allows them to back out of the deal if they cannot find a new home to purchase. This is what happened to a Manhattan couple this summer. They were renting an apartment and after their baby was born in the spring, they started making frequent trips to Barrington, Rhode Island, where the wife had grown up and her parents and siblings still live. “I felt trapped in the city,” she says. “The baby hated her stroller and I didn’t want to take her on the subway. Since my husband can work remotely, we thought why not move up here?”

WATCH OUT FOR SQUATTERS

They started working with Taylor. “The first place we really liked, we lost to an all-cash offer with no contingencies,” her husband explains. “We were very sur- prised when our offer on the next house was accepted. The sellers had a clause in their contract that said the sale was subject to them finding suitable housing. Since our lease wasn’t up until September, we wanted to be flexible. We gave them 30 days to look for a new house, then 30 days more. By the middle of August, they were still there and our mortgage agreement, at a rate that was just over 6%, and our apartment lease, were about to expire.”

The couple scrambled through options. “We could move to Rhode Island, put our furniture into storage and move in with my mother or into a short-term rental,” the new mother says.

“Or sign a one-year lease in Manhattan and hope the sellers could find a suitable home soon,” her husband adds. “But we’d have to refinance at a higher interest rate.”

Finally, at the end of August, the sellers cancelled the contract and gave the couple the right of first refusal if, and when, they do find an appropriate new home. “I think buyers don’t have a lot of leverage here,” the husband observes. “The sellers have a house in a good school district and neighborhood. They can always find another buyer.”

“I’m not angry,” the wife concludes. “They didn’t go into this looking to disappoint a young family. They put in five offers on different properties and didn’t get them. We are all victims of the current housing market.”
