Our Experience With Luxury Millennial Buyers

By
Real Estate Agent with The Top Team @ Charles Rutenberg Realty 255 Executive Dr, Plainview NY 11803

We are working with more and more luxury Millennial buyers lately, and have noticed that they all seem to be asking for the same things.

 

They want easy living. They don't want to work on projects, and want move-in ready luxury homes. If it's done and ready to move-in, they are willing to pay more. Home renovations take too much time for these Millennials and it seems to be too much of a commitment for them.

 

Growing up with technology, wealthy Millennial buyers expect their homes to have features they can control from their smart phones. They want the ability to control security features, temperature adjustments and lighting with their devices. They like wood floors, open floor plans, and  high ceilings. Less is better, and carpet and rugs are a thing of the past. Clean lines and no clutter. Think high-end hotel look.

 

They are looking for large light and bright kitchens with plenty of gathering space around a huge quartz center island countertop. We are finding they dine out more than previous generations, so the need for a large dining space isn't necessary. Affluent Millennials want comfort and are not interested in enclosed spaces. So, the luxury of openness is what they are focused on.

 

Wealthy Millennials are motivated once they make the decision to purchase. Texting is their mode of communication and rarely do they pick up the phone to actually talk. We also see them snapping selfies of themselves as we show them the newer surroundings.

 

We have also found that this group of buyers are not focused on looking for their "forever" home, and plan to live in them for shorter periods of time. Don't neglect this group of buyers. They are out and about and are ready for the move!

 

If you are Millennial looking for a Long Island Luxury experience, call Lawrence "Larry" and Sheila Agranoff at our cell 631-805-4400. We will will help you in your search for the residential residence you are looking for.

Good morning, yes, yes, yes... to all your points! This generation does not expect to work in one or two companies all their lives and they don't expect to live in one or two homes all their lives! As for move-in ready, I'm seeing that issue across all generations of buyers these days.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Call 631-805-4400 (c) So what I am coming away with from your noted experience is these folks want to enjoy the party, but are not willing to devote the effort for the preparations?

Good morning Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Call 631-805-4400 (c) ,

You provide some excellent points that I think are universally true. They will change jobs and not hesitate to pick up and move. They are busy with work and their friends and don't have time for renovations and don't want to be inconvenienced! Excellent post..right on.

Larry and Sheila, your post is spot on and I have seen similar trends from luxury Millennial buyers here. If a job opportunity comes along in a different location they don't hesitate to get up and go for it. Excellent post.

Good morning, Sheila and Larry -- as Nina Hollander commented "move in ready" is highly desired in my market as well and something I see that transcends any age.

Larry and Sheila, well you know the millennial buyers. I am working with a couple now that wants everything.  The house has to have a large kitchen, 3 car garage and 3-4000 sq ft of living space. If not they are willing to do the renovations to get the house up-to-date.

These are great observations! We need to know what buyers want, especially for millennial buyers who are in bigger demand with good down payments. They seem to know exactly what they want and the better agents know and understand their needs, the quicker they can make decisions and the agent and close the deal. 

I consider the two of you to be the best!

Millennials will soon be a major force in driving the market. The more we can learn about this enigmatic home buyer, the better.
