8 Things Millennials Want in a Home

The Millennial generation represents the largest share of homebuyers, according to a generational trends report by the National Association of REALTORS®. Weighing in at 32 percent of homebuyers, millennials are looking for different needs in a home than their predecessors. According to REALTOR Magazine®, these are the top wants of millennial homebuyers.

Affordability

Millennials are spending-savvy, especially when it comes to their home purchase. After seeing parents reel from the recession and facing the repayment of their own student loan dent, millennials want affordable, budget-friendly houses without going into their maximum approved purchase price.

Efficiency

This generation is extremely waste-conscious. With that being said, they're looking for homes in which every space has a purpose.

Flexibility

Millennials see their homes as an extension of the rest of their lives, not just a place to go after work. So they want casual and flexible spaces in a home that can be customized to fit their needs, whether that be a play room for their children, a home office, a home gym, man cave, or an extra bedroom.

"Green" Homes

Via Pinterest

Ten percent of millennials who purchased a newly-built home said they purchased new for green/efficiency reasons, according to an NAR study. Think new appliances, sustainable building materials, and energy-efficient LED lighting.

Entertaining Possibilities

Via Pinterest

It's no surprise that this generation of homebuyers want their homes to be a hub for entertaining family and friends. Open floor plans, fire pits, game rooms, outdoor living spaces, and "man caves" appeal greatly to millennials.

Location, Location, Location

These young homebuyers place importance on being close to urban necessities and entertainment. Home serves as a base for these active homebuyers and they're willing to compromise home size in order to be closer to certain amenities.

Move-In Ready

Growing up in the age of technologic advancement, millennials are accustomed to having things done in an instant. This generational trait transitions into their housing preferences, as well. The more a seller has done, the better. Millennials want updated and upgraded homes, and they want it done before they move in.

Maintenance-Free Materials

Millennials work long hours and have lots of interests outside of the home, so materials that require minimal time and care are key. For example, they prefer tile, laminate or vinyl flooringthat mimics wood over the maintenance of the real thing.

Overall, the Millennial generation doesn't view their home as a status symbol but as long-term investment that will suit the needs of their busy and active lifestyles now and evolve with each life stage.

Water Heater Care « Baird & Warner

October 21st, 2014

Water heaters are instrumental in everyday life, but are easy to overlook until they break. A little preventative care will decrease the likelihood of major unexpected and inconvenient problems.

Use aluminum instead of magnesium. The sacrificial anode is a rod usually made out of magnesium or aluminum. If the hot water heater has a magnesium rod, switch to an aluminum one to avoid odor problems, as magnesium tends to break down and cause a rotten egg smell.

Get rid of scale and lime. Significantly decrease the rate of lime and scale formation in the tank by lowering the temperature of the hot water heater. You may also install a water softener to reduce buildup.

Provide routine care. Drain and clean the tank once a year for optimum performance. Hire a professional regularly to check the overall condition and health of the water heater and address any concerns before they result in major issues.

Electrical Safety Tips « Baird & Warner

August 26th, 2014

Whether you’re changing a light bulb or fixing up the wiring in your circuit board, you should always be safe about electrical work. We’ve compiled some safety tips recommended by the National Fire Protection Association so you can stay safe in your home.

Tamper Resistant Receptacles
If you have a house full of kids, there’s a chance at one point they’ve touched something they weren’t supposed to. To keep your children’s curiosity a safe distance from harm, make sure all your electrical outlets have tamper resistant receptacles. If kids stick something into an outlet, like a paperclip, the springs in the outlet won’t go off and shock them.

Rent or Own: The Costs of Buying a Home | The Torch: Liberty Mutual

After several years of a slow housing market, buying is picking up. Housing prices have dropped significantly during the recent slowdown, and mortgage rates remain at historic lows, meaning that purchasing a house is more affordable than it has been in years.

However, if you're wondering, "Should I buy or rent?", it's important to realize that your housing costs will go beyond your monthly mortgage payment. As a renter, you don't need to worry about anything beyond your monthly rent, but owning a home comes with a wide range of financial obligations. As a homeowner, you'll be responsible for several costs.
