Millennial Homebuyers: How to attract them

Millennials are currently the largest group of homebuyers in the U.S. If you want to attract multiple offers from this target, there are plenty of affordable updates and easy ways to spruce up your home to appeal to millennial buyers and sell your homes quickly.

Updating Your Kitchen and Bathroom

Millennial homebuyers will be looking for neutral countertops, new cabinets, and hardwood floors. Updating cabinets and countertops is a great way to upgrade your kitchen or give it a whole new look. First-time homebuyers are also looking for a bathroom with new tile and modern fixtures. 

By hiring a team of professionals and putting some money toward kitchen and bathroom remodeling, you can attract more millennial homebuyers to your property. Not only that, but you’ll likely recoup a lot of your costs in the sale price of your home.

Low-Maintenance Materials

Millennial homebuyers are interested in low-maintenance homes. They are not looking for a fixer-upper the way Gen Z and other past generations were. Instead, they prefer things that will last and are easy to maintain. 

Consider choosing low-maintenance materials such as quartz countertops, full-sheet materials like back-painted glass, and quartz backsplashes to eliminate grout lines for easy cleaning. You can also install vinyl, sealed concrete, or hardwood floors in your kitchen and bathroom as durable, easy to clean surfaces.

Smart Home Technology 

Adding technology to the home will excite millennial buyers into purchasing your home. In addition, many millennial homebuyers are interested in looking at homes that can manage all of their home devices from one place.

Fresh Paint
