Hispanics had a record year for both homeownership and household formation in 2025, according to key findings from an upcoming 2025 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report set for release by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) in March.

While the overall homeownership rate declined slightly in 2025 across nearly all demographic groups for the second consecutive year, NAHREP noted that 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% of total U.S. homeownership growth and 92.6% of household formation growth nationally, the findings show.

The U.S. homeownership rate ended 2025 at 65.7%, flat from 2024’s year-end mark, according to Census Bureau data. Without the strength of Hispanic homebuyers, that rate would have declined, NAHREP observes.

“Hispanics had a record year for both homeownership and household formation, while the broader U.S. housing market continues to struggle with affordability challenges,” stated Gary Acosta, NAHREP’s co-founder and CEO, in a press release. “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 annual State of Hispanic Homeownership Report will be officially released at NAHREP’s Homeownership and Housing Policy Conference, which runs from March 23 to 25 in Washington, D.C.

According to the trade organization, which identifies as the nation’s largest Latino business organization, 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.
