Do you often feel that there is a conflict
between you and your parents over the idea of home buying? While they are
content living in a basic set-up, you demand every comfort in your home. Well,
this is not just your case. However, almost everyone from the millennial
generation feels this way. The term Millennials or Generation Y refers to those
born between 1981-1991. There is a complete change in your spending habits and
the kind of life you wish to live. Surveys have also indicated that the
millennials demand increased stability. This change is more visible in the real
estate sector as your generation is investing in it and spending like never
before. Even though your generation is witnessing a fluctuating economy, still
investing in a home is considered a wise decision from a stability point of
view.
According to a survey done by CBRE,
a real estate and investment firm, “by 2020 65% of the population will be under
the age of 35”. This 65% of the population is aspiring to buy their home.
Besides, a sizeable number of them have the potential as 82% of them are
staying with their parents.
The
Requirement of Millennials
These statistics indicate that buying a home is a priority for people of your
generation. It is a significant investment. However, there is a paradigm shift
in the kind of house you want as compared with the previous generations. With much
higher purchasing power and risk-taking capacity, it is getting observed that
your generation likes to buy high-end properties, which were earlier for those
who had a bloated bank balance. Luxury and comfort are the new normal for the
Gen. Y. According to research done by Bain & Company and Farfetch, “Millennials
will represent 40% of the global market for luxury homes by 2025”.
Moreover, unlike the previous generation, for
you and people of your generation location is vital from the kind of returns it
will yield. You don’t have issues going a little far from the city centre. As
long as, the property is in an area, which is buzzing with development and is
bound to reap benefits in the future, it is observed that the millennials are
willing to invest. Even if it requires deviating a little from the budget, your
generation can afford it, thanks to the multiple housing loan options. This
luxury of easy home loan options was not there for the earlier generations.
Besides, considering the kind of work life you have, you want your home to be a
comfortable abode. It should have every amenity and luxury.
