According to the @nardotrealtor, “millennial buyers, at 85 percent, were the most likely generation to view their home purchase as a good investment.” Coined the “millennial home buyer effect,” the National Association of Realtors has identified 6 trends that are transforming the way emerging generations are living.
As millennials look to purchase a home, one of the biggest obstacles they face is a lack of affordable housing stock. The first trend that NAR identified is that millennials are moving to “suburban” areas, or neighborhoods that combine elements of urban and suburban living, that give them the lifestyle they crave at a price that is affordable.
