The thing about being a millennial in 2016 is that you\u2019re a hot topic. It\u2019s kind of cool, kind of daunting.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve recently joined a task force at my host company where we are focusing on the needs of millennials who are entering the housing market. As a millennial not nearly ready to buy a house yet, I have learned\u2026 that I am not nearly ready to buy a house yet. There are so many different variables that I had not considered and I am so grateful for my time at Chemical Bank so far because I am truly learning so much (with my position and with life). So, from one inexperienced, yet eager to learn millennial to (hopefully) another, here are a few things we\u2019ve picked up on that are important to millennials in the housing market:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Expectations \u2013 expect loan process to be quick and easy to understand
\n\u2022 Communication \u2013 would like accessibility to loan information via mobile devices and sharing of knowledge available on social media platforms; the component of making process easy to understand is important
\n\u2022 Technology \u2013 paired with the ease of communication and knowledge, millennials interact heavily with technology with everyday tasks and making loan information mobile friendly and easily accessible anywhere<\/p>\n
But then I start to think about those who are looking to own homes or already own homes that aren\u2019t millennials. What do they find important while going through the process of purchasing a home? Are those things being communicated to millennials as things they too should find important\/look for in their process? What resources are available to new, young homeowners-to-be that prepares them for this decision?<\/p>\n
Something that also comes to mind is how Detroiters feel about millennials moving in so deeply into the city. I\u2019ve noticed over the past few months, Detroiters have something to say about everything that has been taking place to try to \u201crevitalize\u201d the city to its former glory. Sometimes its negative and sometimes positive but I\u2019m curious as to what most people have to say about the shift in interest of those in the housing market. Do they believe this will change the culture of Detroit? So many things to think about\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
