Real Estate: Key Differences Between Millennials and Generation Z

Real Estate: Key Differences Between Millennials and Generation ZReal Estate: Key Differences Between Millennials and Generation Z

Much to the delight of annoyed baby boomers, the reign of millennial’s is finally over, as these millennial’s get older and move out of the mainstream media’s focus. However, in their place is the even more extreme Generation Z. Generation Z is incredibly different from the previous generation, especially in the realm of real estate. Let us analyze a few key differences.

What Are Millennial Real Estate Trends?

Baby boomers love to label millennial’s as lazy and spoiled. Now, millennial’s find themselves in a new position. According to the U S, first-time home buyers are increasingly millennial’s. These millennial’s are starting to compete with baby boomers in the same neighborhoods. Statistics show that millennial’s prefer their homes to be in safe, walk able neighborhoods, with smaller home sizes and more opportunities for upgrades.

What if you thought that millennial’s were lazy? Well, due to the “DIY movement” on YouTube and similar sites, it turns out that millennial’s are much more interested in repairs and renovations than baby boomers thought.

Social media also continues to be a significant influence on how the millennial generation finds and purchases homes. On the other hand, Generation Z takes these traits to new extremes.

What Are Generation Z Real Estate Trends?

Despite being younger, Generation Z home buyers strangely seem to be more mature than their millennial counterparts. Generation Z values home ownership and sees it as an ultimate life goal. Many members of this group expect that they will purchase their first homes between the ages of 26 and 30. Additionally, most Generation Z members rely heavily on their phones to perform research on purchases. As a result of these trends, we will likely see an increase in the number of online real estate market platforms as Generation Z approaches home ownership status.

Good Times Ahead for Real Estate

With both millennial’s and Generation Z members favoring home ownership and digital purchasing methods, we expect that online real estate platforms will increase in popularity. Further adding to this real estate revolution are advances in block chain technology and automation. All of these changes will potentially make real estate a more efficient and thriving industry in the years to come.
