About this Event
Generational wealth isn’t just a buzzword. It refers to financial assets that one generation passes down to the next, such as cash, stocks, bonds, real estate or family businesses. Real estate plays a pivotal role in that legacy: homeownership is a powerful wealth builder because homeowners tend to have much higher median net worth than renters ($255,000 versus $6,300 according to Federal Reserve data) and U.S. home values have appreciated about 4 % annually over the past 30 years. Not only does owning a home act as a form of forced savings by building equity with every mortgage payment, but most intergenerational wealth in the United States (around 80 %) is transferred through homeownership. By inheriting property, families can avoid rising housing costs and provide their heirs with an asset that promotes long‑term financial security.
