In a new study, it seems that Millennia’s are more confident than any other age group about purchasing a home being a good investment. The Millenia generation consists of Generation X – those born between 1965 and 1969, and Generation Y- those born between 1980 and 2000. The older of the Millennia generation are at the age when people tend to buy a first home and many are optimistic about it being a good investment in their future.
According to the Study, the largest group of buyers was in the Generation X group, accounting for 31% of recent purchases while 28% of recent purchases were by buyers from Generation Y. The study found that many of these buyers were staying within 10 miles of their previous residence (often a rental apartment or living with their parents). The Millennia generation has purchased a higher rate of purchase than the Baby Boomer generation when they were the same age.
