Despite an improving economy, multigenerational housing remains on the rise. Recent estimates suggest about 20-percent of the U.S. population lives with multiple generations under a single roof. 

That’s according to analysis from the Pew Research Center, which looked at households including at least two adult generations, or grandparents with grandchildren under the age of 25. According to research, it’s a trend that currently transcends almost every racial group, age group and gender, although it appears to be a more common trend with Asian and Hispanic households.

In case you missed it, S&P Dow Jones Indices recently released the latest S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices report, which measures trends and data points related to home prices all across the U.S. 

Over this past spring, the numbers suggest home prices throughout the country have continued to slow, while here in Tampa, we’re seeing some of the largest percentage increases for residential real estate prices. 

As mentioned, Tampa, Las Vegas, and Phoenix registered the highest year-over-year gains among the 20 cities analyzed. Of the three, Las Vegas saw the highest home price increases, recording an 8.2 percent year-over-year spike. Phoenix saw the second-highest increase at 6.1 percent, and Tampa recorded a 5.3 percent jump in home prices. 

Another high-profile condo development in Tampa is now officially taking reservations. Called Hyde Park House, this ultra-impressive luxury condo tower is from West Palm Beach-based Kolter Group—the same developers behind the new Saltaire condo tower and One St. Petersburg, both in downtown St. Pete. 

Hyde Park House will be Kolter’s first project in Tampa but their portfolio throughout Florida is quite extensive. Along with the two St. Petersburg developments mentioned above, Kolter has also developed 100 Las Olas in Ft. Lauderdale, 5000 N. Ocean in Palm Beach, Water Club in North Palm Beach, and Mark Sarasota and The Ritz Carlton Residences in nearby Sarasota.
