Millennials are buying houses and I think there are a couple of different reasons why.
The first thing you should know when considering flipping a house is the easiest way to purchase it is through home equity or cash in the bank.
Number one, an amateur buyer is almost always negotiating against someone who has real estate insight or an attorney. Also, a buyer’s agent will do a comparative market analysis to understand the value and the right price. Sometimes homes are listed higher than the market, the appraisal comes in low and the deal falls apart.
You’ll find a lot more character and often higher quality of materials in a historic home, such as solid wood doors, wider trim molding, crown molding, plaster walls and much more. Lansing has many historically aged homes, but many of them have no longer qualify because people put on vinyl siding and windows. Like type materials need to be used to qualify for a historic designation.
The most important thing is to have an idea of the space you are moving into. People who are upsizing don't need to get rid of much. People who are downsizing definitely need to consolidate.
When you think it is time to downsize it often is too late. Many people find themselves too overwhelmed with the process of uncluttering and getting rid of items; which can feel insurmountable. Often it doesn't happen, and people stay in a house that doesn't suit their needs.
