By Najeeb Olomi – Licensed Real Estate Agent

As property prices rise and family dynamics evolve, more Victorians are turning to multi-generational living — where parents, children, and even grandparents share the same home. Once rare, this housing model is now reshaping buyer preferences and opening new opportunities in the property market.

👨‍👩‍👧 Why It’s Becoming Popular

• Affordability: Rising costs mean pooling resources makes homeownership more achievable.

🏠 What Buyers Want

Homes with:

• Dual living zones

• Separate entries or granny flats

• Larger kitchens and living spaces

• Adaptable floorplans

Suburbs like Craigieburn, Tarneit, and Werribee are seeing demand for these home types due to their space, affordability, and infrastructure.
