As today's Millennials leave college, they are ready to hit the next step in their lives. For most, the next plan in the game is their own space. This might be a loft, an apartment or a starter home of their own. Those people who are looking to market to this generation should remember that certain upgrades help them stand out to this part of the marketplace. As with other demographics, they like things that make their lives easier, better and safer. They also enjoy places and objects which make it easy for the pursue hobbies and express their own characters. Marketers who can meet people where they are and understand that their concerns will probably have no trouble catching this section of the marketplace.

 

Appliances That Wow

 

This generation knows exactly what their appliances can do and they want to take full advantage of it.  They see each button on the washer and they know what it does. Today's generation is also alert to the need to go green and remain green.  They look for appliances that aren't just capable of doing many things but also use less energy to get the job done. Energy Star appliances are at the top of their list.   

 

Updated Security

 

One other important thing that many Millennials want is a sense of safety.   This is particularly true at home. Today's Millennials know that's likely to find security systems that allow them to have the security they want.  A wireless alarm system makes it easier than ever to create a sense of safety.  This kind of system means that anyone can choose precisely how they want it done and when they want it done.

 

A Home Office

Work is changing.  No longer is it the nine to five, come to a particular grind and then punch out and head home program.  Instead, work areas and work times have become increasingly flexible and increasingly mobile. Millennials want a home that can offer them committed, quiet spaces where they could focus on work in a friendly atmosphere.  They love having a home office away from the sound of the rest of the home. Another door with another entryway if possible is ideal. They also search for a home office with updated electrical wiring and central air.

 

The Man Cave

 

Today's men look for their own spaces.  This is where they could hang out and watch the Superbowl or invite friends over for a beer on a hot day.  The man cave is a guy space. Man caves can be a simple corner in one room or they could include much of the basement.  The goal is to have a personal space where the man Millennial can feel at ease with his friends.

A Fabulous Kitchen

The kitchen is as much the heart of the home as ever before.  Buyers and tenants today want a kitchen that allows them cook more easily.  They need a kitchen that wows them from each and every angle.  Many of this generation's buyers have grown up in homes which have such upgraded kitchens.  When they proceed, they want the same advantage they knew at home. They also need a kitchen that is really beautiful.  Today's Millennials are attracted to kitchens that offer upgraded details. They are looking for spaces that have built-in microwaves, wine coolers, breakfast bars, vibrant back splashes and plenty of storage space to keep things on hand when they're entertaining guests or just cooking a fast lunch.

Millennials are coming of age in an era when technology and attractiveness are possible at the exact same time.  They know what they want and they appreciate it when they see it. Recognizing their expectations is the best way to appeal to the newest generation of homeowners.
