It’s striking to see that, by 2025, only 41% of Californians own their homes—a figure more than 10 points below the national average. This updated metric, which considers individual adults rather than households, paints a vivid picture of our current landscape. California isn’t alone; Texas and Florida are seeing similar drops, all pointing to the impact of rising living costs on homeownership across the country.
For those of us guiding clients through San Diego and Riverside County, these numbers reinforce why strategic, relationship-first real estate matters. Whether you’re navigating Probate, managing an inherited property, or exploring Prop 19 options, understanding the realities behind these statistics helps us craft solutions that genuinely serve your goals. As advocates for seamless right-sizing and maximizing equity, we’re here to help you make informed, confident decisions—especially as the path to homeownership becomes more complex.
