MultiGen Homes in Camas Washington
Are you one of many families searching for a multigenerational home in Camas, Washington? We know it’s not always easy to find an exact match for your specific wants and needs. We know first-hand. In fact, our home multigenerational home in Camas required some post-purchase modifications to make it work for us.
For example, we transformed a wet bar downstairs into a full kitchen, and upgraded a bonus room into a bedroom with the addition of closet space. Required egress, with windows and an exterior door, leading to a garden patio, were already in place.
We’ve been living a multigenerational lifestyle since 2006. In that time, we’ve learned so much about the process of transitioning into shared housing. The obvious benefit of shared expenses is a well-known perk. And so is sharing life with people you love.
Naturally, there are also plenty of adjustments. We think it’s important to make sure everyone gets the privacy they need – and their own space. Speaking of space, we specialize in rural properties having exterior natural space – something we both greatly appreciate. It’s especially appealing when the acreage is surrounded by serene and pleasing views.

MultiGen Home Sales – October
Last year, more families found themselves back in multigenerational (multigen) households. Although not exactly their choice, many discovered the advantages of this lifestyle for all ages. In addition to the economics of sharing expenses, there is also the emotional and family support so critical in these times.
Even before the pandemic, multigen homes were on the rise. A 2018 Pew Research Center study shows that 1 in 5 or 20% of all U.S. households are now multigen families. Although many young adults are part of this population, seniors are becoming a larger percentage of these households. And the benefits are clear – it far outweighs institutional or assisted living. As a result, fewer seniors are now living alone than in 1990s.

MultiGen Homes – The New Norm
A recent report by Pew Research Center shows that 52% of young adults now live with their parents – the highest percentage since the Great Depression. Clearly, these numbers reflect the devastating impact of COVID-19 and its effect on the economy.
While this is not the type of intentional multigen households we typically cover, it is still a significant development. One that could have repercussions for the U.S. demographics in general and housing markets in particular. Much will depend upon how much longer COVID-19 will be on the rise, and how long before the U.S. economy starts a rebound.

August MultiGen Home Sales, Clark County WA. We often get the question “what exactly is a multigen household?” The simple answer is: two or more generations living under one roof. But these are not the traditional family units of parent(s) raising their children. Typically, “multigen” is where adult family members decide to move back in together – often to care for an elder, or share in child-rearing responsibilities. And the college graduate who moves back until they get a job is not it either. Many multigen homes are not for economic reasons. The Pews Research group indicated that as many as 1 in 5 households in the U.S. are now multigen.

Kitchen Remodel
Life is busy at our Multi-Gen house with the kitchen remodel update in full swing. Right now, it’s chaos central. Naturally, the biggest headache is trying to cook and clean up. But a Weber grill with a side burner is getting a lot of use. And a utility sink in the garage works well for washing pots, pans, and dishes.
My sis and her husband, who live on another level of our home, offered to let us use their kitchen. But, honestly, carrying things up and down the stairs would just add to the workload. Plus, it would be pretty crowded with all of us cooking different meals – especially at the same time.
Mom, who lives with us, is a good sport about the remodel and is getting used to the “glamping” aspect of the ordeal. Her morning oatmeal is made in the microwave and we try make sure we still have her favorite foods around. It requires thought, prep, and planning. So far, so good.
Plus, mom is a big Portland Trail Blazers fan and has been pretty distracted with her job as their number one cheerleader. She’s even been wearing her team jersey to her Silver Sneakers classes – we’re sorry they’ve lost the last 3 games, but we also respect and admire the Golden State Warriors. May the best team win.
Back to the kitchen. Hopefully in a few days, we’ll be able to test out the new double ovens. However, installing the new gas stove, the farmhouse sink, and the dishwasher will have to wait until the counter tops are in place. Since the counter fabricators are booked until May 30th, it will be at least a month before we get our new quartz counters.
We’ve been warned, remodeling is an endeavor in patience, and it certainly is. , but we know the end result will be worth the hassles. Tonight, we’re taking a break and having take-out. Woohoo! Happy Sunday.
