My name is Katie Warren and I am a strategy reporter at Business Insider. I had one of our interns spend a couple weeks here with the task of convincing you to buy a home. He collected y'alls feedback (thank you for your several hundred responses!) and in junction with other media we have written an article on millennials and home buying.
I hope our intern was of great help and professional while chatting with you all and I hope you give our article a read!
millennials can't afford boomer houses, millennials don't want boomer houses, millennials don't want families yet, millennials want to live next to the avocado toast restaurant, blah blah blah. same old shit.
as millennials get older and start families, their preferences are going to change. i am an old millennial (33) and things changed rapidly after i had kids. my cool urban condo was not a good environment for my kids. i moved to a big house in the suburbs because i wanted the space, yard, good public schools, and safety. the previous homeowners were boomer empty nesters. i don't care about what bars and restaurants i live near anymore. i just want a quiet, comfy place to raise my kids. this is going to be the case for a lot of millennials as they enter their 30s.
