 Millennials are Not Purshasing McMansions

 

Millennials are turning to their Baby Boomer parents who are purshasing  the homes for their kids or helping their kids buy a home.

 

Is this  really what’s happening?

It’s important to realize that the real decision makers are NOT the

Millennials but the Boomer parents:

They will be calling the shots and those are the

folks that real estate professionals really need to be considering in their marketing to Millennials:

Boomers will continue to be the real drivers in housing marketing for many years to come.

Which brings me to the biggest conundrum of Millennials and Boomers and buying houses:

Even if Millennials can afford to buy a home, what homes are they going to buy?:

Millennials don’t want McMansions.

But that is the housing property Boomers are about to vacate – in droves – as more and more become

empty nesters (albeit delayed because so many Millennials are having to live back at home with Mom and

Dad), they want to jettison their huge homes.

I still find way too many Millenials who prefer to rent over purchasing.  They are still making career moves and want to stay free to move to a new city at will.
