McArthur hasn't received any negative feedback regarding the cost of a visitable design, which is only minimally more expensive than other comparable designs. In fact, he says buyers are likely to recoup that cost and then some if they decide to sell the house since there is a growing demand for accessible homes. And that demand isn't coming from just families caring for elderly parents. A report from the Vanier Institute of the Family says newcomers to Canada are twice as likely as their Canadian-born counterparts to live in a multi-generational household. "Newer Canadians who are coming into the country want to keep their family intact and not have it separated. I've shown many homes to people in that situation," McArthur says. It's also becoming increasingly common for multiple genera- tions of a family to pool their resources so they can get more home for their buying dollar, he says, adding requests for fea- tures such as a separate second entrance are on the rise. Regardless of who's buying these homes, McArthur says he doesn't see the idea of multi-generational households fading away any time soon. "I think we'll be seeing more and more of that."
