What Do Millennials Want in their Homes?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Millennials have entered the home-buying market–with the eldest of them just a few years shy of 40. How are they buying homes differently? What are they looking for inside?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Much Space Do Millennials Want?<\/b><\/h3>\n

There is a misconception that millennials are all hopping on the tiny house \u00a0trend and living in communal yurts. But that has been greatly exaggerated. On the contrary, they are just more particular about how their space is utilized. Especially in the urban coastal market, millennials want space for pets and entertaining, so indoor-outdoor space is a priority. They just don\u2019t have kids yet, so they\u2019re not buying or renting properties with as many bedrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Should a Millennial\u2019s Home Be Built?<\/b><\/h3>\n

More important than space, is how well it is utilized. Built in storage and intelligently utilized rooms are greatly valued amongst this customer base. You know that formal dining room you use once or twice a year? They don\u2019t want it! Instead, convert that space into an office or a butler\u2019s pantry, or a laundry\/mud room. Or–and this is a big one– a second or third bedroom to list on vacation rental sites like Air Bnb, VRBO, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.<\/span><\/p>\n
