An overwhelming majority of young adults ages 18 to 27 believe buying a home is more difficult now than it was for previous generations, according to a new survey from Realtor.com.

Realtor.com found in its survey that 82% of adult Gen Z homeowners or hopeful homebuyers say it is harder for them to buy a home than it was for previous generations. Young adults also say buying a home is an important step toward building wealth and achieving the American dream.

The survey showed that 69% of Gen Z adults say real estate is important for building wealth, and 51% say it's an important part of the American dream.

And many of them are working toward that dream. Just over half of respondents say they're concerned about affordability.
