Gen Z is more optimistic about owning a home compared to millennials, per a Redfin survey.
Previous surveys found that Gen Z is also ahead when it comes to home purchases.
Despite this, both generations face a multitude of barriers to home ownership.

When it comes to owning a home, Gen Z actually has a slightly rosier outlook on the prospect compared to millennials, according to a new survey from Redfin.
