Selling My Home To Millennials
The new generation of buyers are the millennials, and as a seller you need to get with their groove. As of 2015, Millennials surpassed Baby Boomers as the largest generational group in America, and they now make up the largest group of home buyers. People that are 36 and younger, or the millennial generation, were the largest group of home buyers, at 34%, from July 2015 until June 2016, according to a National Association of Realtors report. It is inevitable that millennials are a great audience to target.
Millennials Are On Social Media
Millennials are all over social media nowadays. There are many millennial buyers are posing for a picture of their brand new home on Instagram and many other social media sites. I had one client that I had to wait for to put on her fake eyelashes to sign the buying contract. I didn’t mind the wait, but she was obviously trying to do it for the “Gram”. New home buyers are so excited about their new home they are eager to show off to their friends their new sale. Today, more first-time buyers rush to share their newfound status as homeowners across social media.
This is where you have to take advantage of the situation. If they are posing for professional or simple pictures of their new home is a great advantage for you. Your clients will be able to share to their friends the type of home they bought from you. Take social media shares more as a referral for your next sell. If other millennials see the great homes you have sold over social media, they are going to consider buying from you too. With the core group of Millennials between 18 to 34 years old, they are now within age ranges where they are most likely to need a place to either lease or purchase. Many of them (or at least those who can afford to do so) are beginning to buy their first homes and invest in real estate for the first time. Why not be the first choice in hand to purchase a home.
