Since the advent of the internet and sites like Amazon, the importance of finding the right fit for everything has increased considerably. Millennials will spend hours evaluating the slightest differences between three types of headphones in twelve open browser tabs before making a decision. So is it any surprise that these informed consumers take the same amount of care and consideration when purchasing a home? &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2017-08-22\/forget-starter-houses-u-s-millennials-are-buying-luxury-homes\">study <\/a>by Bloomberg, Millennials are waiting to purchase their homes later in life than earlier generations, causing many to bypass the \u201cstarter home.\u201d Instead, many are in their late 20\u2019s and early 30\u2019s when purchasing a home. So they are likely to be in a better position to buy a home that fits <em>all<\/em> their needs. In a world where Millennials can bide their time and wait for the right fit, what exactly is it that they\u2019re looking for in the homes they buy? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Energy Efficiency is Everything<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_585345260-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_585345260-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_585345260-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_585345260-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_585345260-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_585345260-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Global warming and climate change continue to be a growing concern for millions of people. Millennials are by no means an exception. Sustainability has been an especially conscious concern for this generation. And that has popularized LED lights, green appliances, insulated windows, and the occasional solar panel on the roof.&nbsp;Although the initial investment can be more costly, buyers end up <em>saving<\/em> money in terms of utility costs and water. Additionally, many states even offer tax breaks for making a house more energy efficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rise of technology is also proportionate to the rise of energy efficiency.&nbsp;One-stop-shop home systems that are connected to an app or a computer makes it easier than ever to go green and stay green.&nbsp;It makes sense that this intrinsically tech-savvy generation would leverage this proficiency in order to create sustainable, long-term results for both the home and the planet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Open Floor Plans Are A Must<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_656245330-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_656245330-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_656245330-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_656245330-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_656245330-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a surprise that this trend is all the rage in the current home buying world. Open floor plans maximize efficiency when traveling around the house. They also make homes look and feel bigger. Combining the kitchen, dining room, and living room into one large, easily maneuverable room makes it easier to entertain. As a bonus, it&#8217;s also accessible for the &#8220;work from home&#8221; freelance types.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More and more modern homes are being built with this open-concept style,. Even traditional homes are renovated to knock down a wall or two, let in some light, and modernize the space. However, this open-concept doesn\u2019t just limit itself to indoors. Outside spaces such as a patio or porch are also cited as important assets when it comes to homeownership. Outdoor space  extends the living area, increasing the ability to navigate the entire home.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lively Downtown<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_319757786-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_319757786-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_319757786-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_319757786-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_319757786-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_319757786-2048x1363.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>High property costs in cities are leading Millennial homebuyers to seek more affordable housing in the suburbs. Despite all the talk of Millennials hating the suburban life, it seems that many are contributing to its revitalization. With their own little urbanized twist, of course. Many Millennials do live in cities much longer than previous generations. And when they <em>do<\/em> leave, they want to keep some of the best parts with them. A recent article by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/view\/articles\/2017-08-25\/millennials-are-driving-the-suburban-resurgence\">Bloomberg <\/a>mentioned the rise of an \u201cin between\u201d\u2014a place not dense enough to qualify as a city, but that offers some of the best parts of city life most cherished by Millennials. Millennials, with their love of socializing over brunch and getting happy hour drinks, have transformed traditional suburban areas into small mini-cities with walkable spaces, nice restaurants, outdoor malls, and comedy clubs. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wood Floors Only<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_228255529-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_228255529-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_228255529-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_228255529-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_228255529-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If <em>House Hunters<\/em> has taught us anything, it\u2019s that Millennials and shag carpets do <em>not <\/em>go together. With a staggering 82% of Millennial homebuyers actively look for wood floors, it\u2019s no wonder that home builders are catering to this market. A sturdy carpet can last ten to fifteen years.
