It's important to appeal to millennial buyers, because they are making up a larger percentage of the buying market each year, and they are buying in all different price ranges. Millennial buyers have very high expectations, and their buying power is higher than young buyers have ever had before.

The importance of a low-maintenance or maintenance-free lifestyle is the first thing you'll see about these buyers. They want to see systems working properly, and don’t want to do a whole lot of home improvement work. Don’t think you can put off your upgrades in hopes that you can put money for repairs in the contract.

Secondly, millennial buyers love contemporary decor. For freshening up the interior of your home, neutralize it to make it as appealing as possible. Use light greys instead of whites to re-paint.


Finally, you’ve got to realize that these buyers make decisions very quickly. They will decide within 30 seconds of walking into your home whether they want to buy it or not, so staging your home properly can make or break the sale.
