Millennials have proven they approach real estate differently, caring more about buying a home and having financial security than other life goals like getting married or having children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millennials came of age with the recession. So purchasing a home has been harder for them. Millennials are also making lower salaries than generations prior. So it\u2019s no surprise that with Millennial’s new and innovative approach to real estate, more non-traditional home buying initiatives have surfaced.

When buying a home, zoning codes matter. Buyers may think the house is perfect now. But what if later on they need for an extension to the back of the house or a home office? What if, fifteen years from now, you want to add a pool or a balcony? Even if it doesn’t seem relevant now, building codes, compliance designs, and local zoning and permitting regulations may be relevant later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
