Housing....The Next Generation
You’ve heard of all the generations, from the Greatest Generation, to the Boomers, and all the way through Gen X, Y and the Millenials. Each generation has its own characteristics, even when it comes to their views on homeownership.

It is interesting to see with this chart, those differences, and how the Greatest Generation seemed to have lower expectations than current generations. I see that in showing homes today. I sold a home for a family that raised 6 kids during the 1960’s. Their home had 3 bedrooms and ONE closet on the upper level . Yes, I said one closet! They made it work. Todays buyers could not even imagine living with one closet. To the buyers today, the bigger the better when it comes to closets!
Many of the early generations, have their fortunes in their homes, and have them paid off by retirement-a golden egg to pass on to their kids. Many in the middle generations and younger have borrowed so much against their homes to pay for kids college educations, remodeling projects or debt consolidations.

When it comes to housing, the youngest of buyers put much value into a good place to raise a family and good schools, your own space to do with as you please. An Investment is not their top reason to buy a home, but a part of the reason.
No matter the reason that is important to you, it is a great time to buy. With both rates and prices the lowest in years, and a large inventory to find a great neighborhood, I can help your family secure their future with a home purchase. There is nothing so great as leaving a closing and seeing the buyers physically jumping up and down in joy over their new home! Call me today for that same experience!
