A year into their relationship, Gwen Merz and her boyfriend brought up the big question. No, not “Will you marry me?” Rather: “Would you like to purchase a home with me?” Truth be told, for some millennials, the thought of going in on a house together can be more thrilling than the sound of wedding bells.
The pair were tired of living in their respective apartments. “With the pandemic, we realized the value of having space, which was in very short supply for us both,” the 30-year-old IT professional says. In March 2021, Merz and her partner closed on a spacious five-bedroom, four-bathroom, 2,500-square-foot house in the suburbs of Saint Louis, Missouri.
