Bank of America data shows that millennial homeownership is rising, and since this group prefers a fixer upper, there’s potential for lots of projects in the coming months, which could be a good thing for home improvement retailers.

Bank of America data shows that millennial homeownership is rising, and since this group prefers a fixer upper, there’s potential for lots of projects in the coming months, which could be a good thing for home improvement retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s Cos.

But millennials aren’t looking for something brand new. Instead, 80% say they prefer an older home in need of work in order to save money. More than three-quarters of those who already own a home say they started a renovation project in the first 12 months after making the purchase, “meaning that the recent housing boom still has lasting benefits to renovation activity.”

After its fiscal first-quarter earnings announcement, Lowe’s Chief Executive Marvin Ellison told MarketWatch that he was still confident about the home improvement retailer’s future.

When it all tumbles...

I bought my first home when I was 27. I had to save for years to afford the down payment. My car was literally a $1500 hunk of junk and I spent on nothing for at least 5 years to save for it... no movies, no eating out, no books, CDs, magazines etc. Every penny in savings.

Yes renovate.

If they buy in the next two years, it’s looking like they’re gonna get a deeply discounted price on the first home. Thanks to the economy, inflation, high gas prices, etc.. as home prices are about to take a nosedive!

As if a millennial even knows the business end of a hammer

Bullshit.

More like THATS THE ONLY THING THEY CAN AFFORD if they wanna own!

'prefers' is doing A LOT of heavy lifting in this paragraph.

Don’t think we necessarily “prefer” a fixer upper. It’s just all that’s left. The scraps of the market

prefer? maybe they're just broke and those fix-it uppers are the only properties within their budget.
