Why Millennials Will Make it Easier for You to Buy a House

After witnessing how the housing market collapse affected their parents' and grandparents', it's no wonder millennials have been cautious when it comes to entering the housing market. Although still genuinely interested in homeownership, the biggest barrier to millennial entry into the home buying market is debt.

We can attribute delayed millennial entrance into the housing market primarily as an outcome of financial circumstance... but this isn't a bad thing for everyone. Ultimately, it could potentially drive down prices and mortgage rates not only for cautious millennials, but for everyone.

According to a recent Zillow survey, respondents ages 18 to 34 believe more strongly than previous generations that owning a home is necessary to being a respected member os society, living a good life and obtaining the American dream.

Although they've faced a tough market thus far, experts say that millennials will soon impact the homeownership landscape. With home prices on the rebound, an improved job market, and a softening in tight lending requirements that impacted home buyers in the recent years... things are looking up for the latest generation of first-time homebuyers.

Game Changers: Economic Development in Nevada

"Nothing paints a clearer picture of the results of economic development than the Silver State. Nevada has transitioned from a state with the highest unemployment rates in the country to a state welcoming Tesla to its economy, breaking ground on a 12,000-home master planned community, launching one of the first-of-its-kind interactive medical communities with Union Village and searching for tenants to fill a large industrial park.

This is Nevada and many of its recent economic successes are the result of longstanding policies and practices as well as a business friendly environment, a great corporate and personal tax climate and two large metro areas that provide one-day access to the eleven western states.

Couple those facts with four-year-old Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED), aggressive marketing campaigns and eight months of national media coverage as Teslamade its site selection, and Nevada looks like the state where companies want to relocate and entrepreneurs want to start up."

Economic development is currently thriving in the Silver State! Read more about Nevada's recent economic successes at the Nevada Business article below:
