[quote=briansd1]I don’t think that many parents give houses to their kids. If that were to become a common trend, house prices would drop in the future because proportionately fewer young adults would need to buy houses.[/quote]
I would bet you’re wrong about that briansd1, at least counting inheritance. But I imagine a very common scenario is more than one sibling, and the heirs liquidate the asset in order to split it easily.
