Must-Have Features For Millennials Homeowners
It should come as no surprise that with numbering just over 75 million, today’s 21- to 37-year-olds also known as “millennials” are the largest generation in US history.
What makes this group of individuals SO unique to this market is that they are more diverse, tech literate, and educated much like the single woman homeowner cohort.
What’s more – millennials are married and have children much later than previous generations and now are experiencing the 2019 USDA Income Limits Increase.
This then follows the evident observation: millennials are now in peak home-buying years, yet – they are becoming homeowners later!
