It’s pretty amazing to see some of the home buying numbers in the Hispanic community. Here are a few that stick out to us.

The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals has recently published a report that I wanted to talk about today. There are a lot of interesting numbers in here that point to an upward trend in Hispanic homeownership that no other demographic is seeing. Here’s what’s been going on:
- In 2016, there were 7.3 million Hispanic homeowners in the U.S.
- Also in 2016, there were 209,000 new Hispanic homeowners.
- Hispanic people account for 60% of the U.S.’s overall growth in homeownership.
- Hispanic people will account for 52% of new homeownership between 2010 and 2030.
- From 2010 to 2015, Hispanics accounted for more than half the population growth in the U.S. according to the U.S. Census.
- Six out of 10 Hispanic homebuyers are millennials.
- The Hispanic purchasing power was $1.4 trillion in 2016—more than the entire country of Australia.
- Hispanic people account for 76.4% of labor growth.
In addition to these numbers, you can see a graph in the video above that shows the growth in owner-occupied units. You can see the Hispanic population of homeowners start to increase over the last decade or so now that growth has outpaced that of non-Hispanic homeowners.
Another graph in the video above shows the net homeownership change. It’s interesting to note that Hispanics had an additional 1.1 million homeownership changes from 2010 to 2016, while non-Hispanic homeownership changes went down by 2.2 million.
Hispanic homeownership is at an all-time high.
Some of these stats just absolutely blew me away. After reading into them more, it makes sense. As far as Hispanic attitudes toward homeownership are concerned, raising a family and wealth creation have proven to be the primary drivers. It appears that trend is likely to continue.
