The housing market has suffered quite a bit over the last couple of years, and millennials are of homebuying age right around now.
This leaves questions regarding the housing market today and what these factors may mean.
Do millennials still want to buy houses on the housing market as part of their “American Dream?”

The idea of owning a home is starting to seem unobtainable.
While buying a home to move into and start a family seems ideal, millennials are finding different ways to become homeowners.
This includes buying property in the housing market and slowly building while living in an RV, or buying homes in need of fixing at a lower price.
Others simply do not want the responsibility of owning a home.

Others simply choose to rent and forfeit the responsibility that goes into owning a home.
