More and more millennials are choosing to buy homes.
Wait, before we get started we have to answer the age-old question: “Where should I live?” Unlike the generations before them, millennials are faced with returning to school, a competitive job market, and becoming post-graduates during a recession. Owning a home provides a wealth-building tool that many millennials are deciding they need and want to add to their financial portfolio. According to data gathered from the National Association of Realtors Since 2013 Millennials are buying more homes than any other generation, specifically, ⅓ of the homes bought in 2017 was purchased by Millennials.
