U.S. Census Bureau: Hispanics Post a Net Gain of 441,000 Homeowners in 2025
A forthcoming NAHREP Report will highlight that Latinos accounted for 139.6 percent of total U.S. homeownership growth and 92.6 percent of household formation growth nationally
SAN DIEGO—February 10, 2026 —The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals® (NAHREP®), the nation’s largest Latino business organization, today previewed key findings from its upcoming 2025 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report (SHHR), to be released at the 2026 Homeownership and Housing Policy Conference, sponsored by Chase, March 23-25, 2026, at the JW Marriott, Washington D.C. The report offers data-driven insights into Latino homebuying trends, the obstacles Hispanic households face, and the policy solutions needed to sustain long-term homeownership growth.
In 2025, Hispanics had a record year for both homeownership and household formation, adding 441,000 net new homeowners and 1,094,000 overall households. Latinos accounted for 139.6 percent of total U.S. homeownership growth and 92.6 percent of household formation growth nationally. Without Hispanic homebuyers, the total number of U.S. homeowners would have declined.
Despite these gains, the overall homeownership rate declined slightly across nearly all demographic groups for the second consecutive year. Among Latinos, household formations continued to outpace homeownership growth, underscoring the gap between families ready to buy and the limited number of homes available to them.
“Hispanics had a record year for both homeownership and household formation, while the broader U.S. housing market continues to struggle with affordability challenges,” said Gary Acosta, NAHREP Co-Founder & CEO. “Latinos are driving demand and strengthening communities, while tight inventory, interest rates, and higher home prices are keeping many qualified families on the sidelines.”
The 16th edition of the State of Hispanic Homeownership Report will be officially released at NAHREP’s Homeownership and Housing Policy Conference, March 23–25, 2026, in Washington, D.C. The conference will convene housing industry leaders, policymakers, and advocates to discuss the findings and advance solutions that unlock more opportunities for Hispanic families to become homeowners.
