It is no secret that the pandemic and inflationary pressures have shifted the building industry. From price increases to material and labor shortages and everything in between, we have seen it all and have had to make adjustments accordingly. As every aspect of the housing market has changed, it’s no surprise that homebuyers’ preferences have shifted as well.
In fact, according to the NAHB, 36% of millennials’ preferences have changed due to the pandemic. We’re seeing that the younger your buyer, the more likely their preferences have shifted. So what exactly are Millennials looking for in a home? We’ve listed the top 10 most wanted features below (NAHB, 2022).
- Laundry Room
- Hardwood Flooring on Main Level
- Exterior Lighting
- Ceiling Fan
- Patio
- Walk-In Pantry
- Front Porch
- Table space for eating in the kitchen
- Dining Room
- Double Kitchen Sink
