The research also examined how the current \"Sandwich Generation\" has received support to help save for retirement and/or afford a home.\n\"Unfortunately for home shoppers, affordability is still a big challenge in the current housing market, but for the Sandwich Generation, family support is providing a helping hand when it comes to finances,\" said Laura Eddy, VP Research and Insight for Realtor.com®. \"Over half of adults within the Sandwich Generation who receive financial support from family members report that this support is helping them to afford a home, while a little less than half (47%) said the support helped them save for retirement.\"\nBeing in The Sandwich Generation is Equal Parts Negative and HelpfulScarce inventory has kept home prices high and competition intense among buyers, especially today when housing supply remains well below pre-pandemic levels.

Real estate continues to be the most consistent method for building generational wealth.\"\nMen, Millennials and Gen Z are Most Likely to Identify as Part of the Sandwich GenerationThe Sandwich Generation is not confined to one demographic. In fact, survey respondents who identified as part of the generation spanned multiple age groups. Millennials made up the greatest portion (36%) followed by Gen Z (30%), Baby Boomers (17%) and then Gen X (16%). And, between men and women, men were more likely to say they support both kids under the age of 18 and parents/grandparents, with more than half (56%) identifying as part of the Sandwich Generation vs. 44% of women.\nMillennials Are the Most Financially Affected in the Sandwich GenerationMillennials are especially affected financially, and on opposite sides of the spectrum. While 46% of millennials who support children and older relatives say it is preventing them from buying a home, another 43% actually said their circumstance is helping them to afford a home. More likely to be parents, Millennials say they support their children financially and in the home the most, while Gen Z are more likely than the general population to say they provide financial support to their parents.\nFor those looking to buy, sell, or just take a look at homes, Realtor.com® can help consumers on all sides of the homeownership journey.
