Millennials Choice

 

Comparing to previous generations, the barriers to enter into the real estate is higher for the millennials even though millennials are giving utmost priority for owning a home. In 2018 a survey conducted by Bank of America, denotes that owning a home is a top priority for the millennials and getting married and having children fell lower in the list. Millennials are in fact diligent in their approach to buy a new home and usually check whether the following factors are included. Let's take a look !

 

Spacious rooms and Kitchen

 

Millennials prefer spacious rooms and kitchen for their homes. They are more interested in open floor plans where kitchen, dining and living areas are connected. Kitchen is considered to be one of most important part of any well-built home. It should be neat and in excellent condition all the time. Size of the kitchen is important as it is one of the gathering point of any family who spend time in there. The large kitchen allows to move freely and provides enough storage space for the utensils and cooking equipment in the kitchen itself.

 

Low maintenance

 

We all know that home maintenance is so important and in the long run it saves a lot of trouble and money. Small repairs on proper time will avoid larger issues in the future. When choosing a property or product millennials are more likely to choose the one with low maintenance cost so as to reduce the recurring cost to a minimum.

 

Office space

 

In a post COVID 19 pandemic World , one thing is very clear, a dedicated space in the home as office space is not considered a luxury but an essential element. The pandemic pushed millions to work from home. It became a new normal for many. Considering this as a dedicated space which is free from distractions ensures a better working environment. The thought of having an exclusive space for office in the house itself is a factor keenly observed by the millennials.

 

Environmentally aware.

 

Nowadays homebuyers especially millennials are more environmentally aware and conscious than previous generations. They are willing to buy houses built on the eco-friendly model. Eco friendly homes offers several features like consistent temperature, higher quality air, electricity with minimum cost, low carbon foot prints, reduced waste and reduced expenses. People are trying to return to nature like never before and want to connect with nature in every possible way to get rid of their monotonous and hectic scheduled lifestyle. In eco-friendly homes we use solar energy by installing solar panels and it will not only reduce the electricity costs but cause no damage to nature also. Millennials always look at the investment benefits well too. Eco-friendly homes are considered to be a better investment option. The trend is changing towards a more natural way of life and people are more interested to invest in green homes.
