As found in a Realtor.com® survey of more than 1,000 home shoppers, many young adults are being pushed towards owning a home due to the increasing rentals costs, with 23 percent of those between the ages of 18 and 34 citing rising rents as a trigger for purchasing a home. Realter.com®'s chief economist Danielle Hale explains that even in the current unique housing market with low inventory and high prices, most shoppers still want some classic features. Older home-buyers desire privacy and the ability to age comfortable while millennials emphasize family needs, stability, and personal expression.
