“If I had to rent, there’s no way I would have been able to purchase a home,” Matson said. Although, the City of Huntington Beach attempted to ban ADUs but rescinded that ban after the State of California filed a lawsuit against the city.
Two professors of architecture at Miami University have advocated for Matson’s style of housing, also known as an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU. Those younger people who live with their parents typically live inside their parents’ home, but arrangements like Matson’s are becoming more common. With home prices rising more than 40% on a national level during the Pandemic Housing Boom, and still rising in some markets, many young adults are getting priced out and have no choice but to live with their family. Following the onset of the pandemic, 2020 was the first time since the Great Depression that over half of all Americans under 29 were living with their parents, and most said their motivation was to save money. Matson’s experience isn’t an anomaly-adults have been increasingly moving in with their parents for the past five decades, according to a 2022 report from Pew Research Center. With a 30-year fixed rate at 6.87%, her monthly mortgage payment is over $2,000, which she says is “insane.” The average home value in College Station is slightly above $325,600, an increase of 6.4% over the past year, per Zillow. Matson says she put down 3% (roughly $7,500) on her $250,000 new home. “It’s a lot for one person,” she says, especially given she was living in a 350 square-foot house, and now she’s living in a 1,500-square-foot, three bedroom, two bathroom house. Matson said she thinks it cost them less than $100,000. Her parents paid for everything, from the construction costs to furnishing (she says there wasn’t much to furnish because it’s so small). They did everything themselves, except for the granite countertops. She recalls that it took her and her dad around eight months to turn the fort into her tiny home. The savings go a bit further than that, too. She also eats her mom’s home-cooked meals every day, Matson says, so she’s saved on food, too. A studio comparable to Matson’s tiny house would be closer to $1,200, meaning she could have saved as much as $72,000 over those five years. She says her friends typically pay around $800 a month for a bedroom in a shared apartment-that equates to $48,000 over a five-year timespan. It’s hard to put a number on how much Matson’s saved, but the average rent for all bedrooms and property types in College Station is $1,800, per Zillow.
Some even requested blueprints to replicate her house for themselves. She says she gets tons of messages from her followers asking for advice, and a lot of them are young adults looking to save money in a historically unaffordable housing market.
