NEWS BRIEFS: Blood donations needed across the Lowcountry

Staff reports | More than 60 blood donation sites will be open over the next two weeks to help the American Red Cross meet what it calls a “severe blood shortage.”

“Right now, the Red Cross needs to collect more than 1,000 additional blood donations (nationally) each day to meet current demand as hospitals respond to an unusually high number of traumas and emergency room visits, organ transplants and elective surgeries,” the agency said in a news release.

FOCUS, Matheny: Gen Xers are driving trend of multi-generational housing

Via Digit Matheny, contributing editor | This Is Us. Jane the Virgin. Black-ish. What do they have in common? They are all family television programs that have members of multiple generations living under one roof. But the reality of multi-generational living is more than sitcom fodder.

According to the 2019 Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends report by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), multi-generational housing continues to be a growing trend among homebuyers. This trend is driven largely by Gen Xers, who are the second-largest band of homebuyers today at 24%. Of that cohort, one in six purchased a multi-gen home, half of whom cited accommodating adult children as their reason for doing so.

When it comes to millennial buyers, 9 percent purchased a multi-generational property they could share with aging parents, per the report.

MATHENY: Should you buy a home warranty?

Via Digit Matheny, contributing editor | “I’m buying a house. Should I buy a home warranty?”
Seems like a relatively tame question, right? But post it on Facebook or Nextdoor and watch the impassioned responses roll in. You might as well ask, “What political party should I belong to?”
