Millennials are buying homes, and it\u2019s probably fair to say, they would like that deal delivered.
\nThose people born between 1980 and 1999, made up the largest share of home buyers last year (37 percent), according to data from the National Association of Realtors. Of those, 86 percent of younger millennials and 52 percent of older millennials were first-time homebuyers.
\nMillennials want different things from previous generations. While previous generations might have wanted to get away from the city, millennials are just as likely to want to be in it. So, if the city has spread out toward your once-suburban home, don\u2019t be afraid to emphasize the location. Millennials want short commutes. They don\u2019t like lines. They want everything delivered and that includes all the services of the city from groceries to fine dining or even fast food. They want lots of choices in restaurants and bars, and nearby entertainment.
\nAccording to the National Retail Federation, millennials are in a hurry. Millennial buyers don\u2019t house shop casually. They are internet savvy and accustomed to doing research online. More than 80 percent of millennials look for a home on a mobile device.
\nMillennials are less likely to care about square footage than other generations. They prefer home features: Garages that double as recreation rooms, designer laundry rooms, and walk-in pantries that hold food, wine, and appliances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
