Millenials, according to demographers, are those whose ages reach the
range of young adulthood in the early 2000s. Some researchers use this
demographic cohort to describe the generation which follows the
Generation X. They are sometimes referred to as Generation Y while in
some reference materials this group pertains to the persons born in the
early 80s to the early 2000s.
Currently, millenials are those
whose lives are still tangled with their parents. Studies revealed that
most of them aren't forming their own families yet. Either they are
focused on their careers or they are living their happy-go-lucky lives.
Either way, they are still projected by housing experts as a group which
will become powerful home buyers despite the fact that most of them are
not in a hurry to purchase one. But once they decide to pursuit the
goal, they will do all they can to achieve it.
The millennium
generation has fantastic choices when it comes to the house they want.
But you'll be surprised to know that the house they want is one that is
conveniently located to the comfortable amenities of the lifestyle they
reflect. According to surveys, most of them would want the house to be
located near bars, coffee shops, and shopping loops.
Unlike the
general home comfort features that generations before them wanted,
millenials are more particular with technology in the home. One factor
behind such choice is their inclination with the use of modern
technology in their jobs and in their personal lives. Most of them have
been cannibalized by their smart phones and other handheld gadgets such
that they want control of other home appliances with these gadgets too.
Thus, in more recent surveys it appeared that they want to turn the
lights on and off through their mobile phones or water the garden in
times determined by their sensor-capable sprinklers. In consideration of
their mobile phone use, the millenials would of course come into
consensus that good provider coverage is also a great factor. They would
want to check first whether their provider has strong signal around the
neighborhood where they are planning to buy a house.
The
millennial home buyer wants greater control over his would-be house.
Thus having smaller spaces is not of a big deal. Instead, what he wants
is a smaller space where flexibility and control can be fused with
functionality and beauty.
Rooms especially designated for a
typical function may not be as important as what other buyers
representing other generations would opt for. Instead multifunction
rooms are more important to them, such as a room where his future family
can dine together while in other days he and his friends can watch over
their favorite sports channel. It's like a dining area which can also
function as a media room.
