Gen Z Leads the Way for DIY Projects on ‘Fixer-Upper’ Houses, Survey Finds

Gen Z is the most likely to buy older homes needing renovation and struggles the most with the financial burdens of maintaining them.

Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, is now the nation’s most “hands-on” generation of homeowners.

Recent findings by the research team at This Old House indicated that 75 percent of Gen Z homeowners have taken on home improvement projects themselves after buying an older home.
