According to a recent survey from realtor.com® and HarrisX of 2,000 millennial home shoppers, nearly half plan to speed up their timelines during the next year and are willing to adjust to virtual methods due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The survey did show that this generation is prepared for a competitive market, as 71% expect some or a lot of competition when shopping for homes. However, the data also reported that 68% have been able to better save due to the shelter in place orders that have occurred throughout the country.
75% of respondents noted that they have been working remotely since the initial wave of COVID struck the country back in March. Of that 75%, nearly 63% said they plan on purchasing a home because of their ability to work remotely.
In addition, roughly 59% of the millennial respondents mentioned that COVID-19 has changed the way they currently shop for homes, with many now spending more time researching properties online, looking at listing photos, and watching listing videos.
