Couples who buy together, stay together. So suggests a new Wahi survey of Angus Reid Forum members that looks into how homebuying affects Canadians’ romantic relationships.
With Valentine’s Day approaching, Wahi’s 2024 Real Estate Romance Survey provides insights at the intersection of relationships and property ownership, including how common it is for couples to buy a home together and whether doing so strengthens romantic partnerships or not. “Buying a home is a major milestone for any couple, and it is by far the most common way for Canadians to become homeowners today,” says Wahi CEO Benjy Katchen. “In fact, 77% of Canadian homeowners say that they bought their home, with their romantic partner. Overall, our survey also suggests that homebuying is rarely a strain on relationships — and it appears to have the potential to actually strengthen some bonds, too.”
