Millennial Home

Millennial Home

650+ word article about housing and lifestyle trends for Millennials. Here we are over one decade into the new millennium and nothing has gone according to plan. Housing markets are upside down, no one has the answers to what might be around the next corner, and most have watched the value of their home plummet. No more taking out equity loans to remodel, improve or even repair normal wear and tear on a house. Even before the turn of the twenty first century architect Sarah Susanka became one of the first to talk about the excesses of living large, writing The Not So Big House published in 1998. Many regions have found the once ubiquitous suburban McMansions have become albatrosses while property values dip and energy and fuel costs rise, making living big less fun. Lust for a six-bedroom, five-bathroom home with a three car garage and expensive upkeep was waning even before top executives watched their well remunerated positions evaporate.
