What Millennials Want in a New Home

Trends for home buyers at a young adult age also include being frugal with their money which means saving more for a down payment. Affordability and convenience are important to millennials so what is on their wish list when it comes to a specific property is very different than Generation X or Baby Boomers. They look for different things in a home than different generations and are willing to sacrifice things like eating out in order to save.

This is the age of buying online and that includes looking at houses online first before buying. Technology has become a big part of the home buying process and seeing high-quality images of a house before going to tour it saves them time and helps make the decision easier.
