Parents Save Early for Their Children’s First Homes
Coldwell Banker commissioned a survey revealing that 82% of US parents with children aged five or under are considering or already saving for a future home deposit. The timely hook connects a familiar family impulse—giving children a head start—to the growing challenge of housing affordability.
Why it worked: It used fresh, proprietary survey stats to quantify a counter-intuitive shift—parents prioritising down payments over college—tied to the housing affordability crisis.
The lesson: Consider fielding a quick, nationally weighted poll that reveals a surprising trade-off people are making right now, then pitch the cleanest stat.
