Although the U.S. stock market rose sharply today, due in part to the announcement of better-pending sales of previously owned homes in February, sales are still down when compared to the numbers from 2006.

Getting your own house today is not an easy task because of the ongoing inflation. Borrowing costs are high, housing prices are also spiking, and inventory is low. 

Despite all these challenges, Bankrate said that young Americans- especially Gen Zs and millennials-are up to the challenge. 

The financial firm's survey said that these youngsters are willing to do anything just to get affordable houses. 

Here are the exact things that millennials and Gen Z will do just to have their own affordable housing: 

  • 29% of them are willing to move out of the state and buy a fixer-upper. 
  • 27% of them are willing to downsize living spaces and take on roommates. 
  • 26% of them are willing to move away from friends and families. 
  • 24% of them are willing to buy a house, even if it is located in a less desirable area. 
  • 19% of them are willing to move farther away from work.

Existing home prices are shooting up at the fastest pace in nearly 25 years according to the National Association of Realtors. The record sales pace has produced a gain of 14.7 percent over the median home price a year ago, the biggest jump in prices since November 1980.

To help younger Americans, Bankrate provided some tips on how they can increase their chances of getting an affordable house: 

  • Always stick to your budget. Make places before buying a house. 
  • Before buying a house, know the reasons why you want to become a homeowner.
  • If you want to relocate because of your job, try asking your company if you can work remotely. 
  • Before moving to another place, research the expenses linked to your relocation.
