This past weekend, I was out with a young couple. We went in two houses in the same neighborhood that happen to be the exact same floor plan. There were some minor differences. One had a tiled backsplash, trendy furniture and finishes.  The other was very plain and was decorated with an older vibe……..guess I’d call it Early American Yard Sale. Guess which one my young couple liked with the most? When the agent for the “Older House” asked for feedback, I told her about this and suggested the seller make some changes. The most likely buyers in this price range and neighborhood are first time Gen Z buyers.

So, if you are selling, think about your buyer and make any needed changes that will make your house more appealing to them. First time buyers are mostly buying houses from Millennials, Millennials are buying houses from Gen X and Boomers. It is important to make your house appealing to each group as they move up the property ladder.
