Were We Wrong About Millennials?
When Millennials started to enter the housing market, our industry labeled them as high-tech, urban dwellers. But, truthfully they didn’t shake up the housing market the way our industry had expected. One of the projections that turned out to be accurate was that there would be a lot of Millennial buyers – and there were and still are. However, the predictions of where Millennials would buy homes and what features were on their ‘must-have’ lists were simply incorrect. As millennials grew older their desire to start families, be near respected schools and have more space strengthened and downtown living has become less appealing. Much like generations before them, Millennials made the shift to focus on family housing, but their shift came at a later point in life.
Another interesting insight, Millennials are more likely than other generations to buy a home that needs renovation (Bank of America).
