How to Sell Your Birdland

Pleasanton Home to Millennial

Buyers

Selling your home to millennials looking for

homes for sale in Birdland Pleasanton CA can

be quite a challenge. This young generation of

buyers are driving a lot of change to

industries, including real estate. If you want

to attract their attention, you need to work

with an experienced agent who knows how to

deal with these tech-savvy buyers.

Here are other consideration

when selling your home to

millennials.

1. Make sure your home has eco friendly materials

Eco-friendly materials and lifestyle choices are on

the list of the millennials’ must-haves when

looking for Birdland Pleasanton CA homes for sale.

Having readily available materials like bamboo in

flooring and wood with Forestry Stewardship

Certification (FSC) in kitchen and bath cabinets can

be your home’s selling points.

These materials are always available

since they grow faster compared to other

types of wood. Homes with energy

efficient heating and cooling is more

attractive to millenial homebuyers since

they are more aware of the benefits

(lower energy bill and more eco-friendly).

2. Make sure you have an updated kitchen and

bath

Millennials would certainly fall for a home with

new kitchen and bath fixtures. Since millennials

are younger buyers with mostly limited budgets,

they cannot afford to dish out a lot of money to

update these areas and would prefer homes with

kitchens and baths that are already updated.

3. Make sure you have a kitchen with an open floor

plan

Millennials looking for real estate for sale in

Birdland prefer homes with big kitchens and open

floor plans. For these younger buyers, the kitchen

is not just a space for preparing meals; it is also a

great hangout place. Millennials want an open

space that allows them to transition from the

kitchen to the TV room.

They also prefer an open floor plan over a

layout that compartmentalizes the home.

For them, compact, well-designed “open

concept” and “connected” floor plans are the

order of the day. To increase the desirability

of your home, consider removing walls and

adding a center island with room for stools.

4. Millennials want efficient, smaller spaces

Back in the day, huge mansions were status

symbols for successful baby boomers.

Today, these younger generation of buyers

reject size over efficient use of space. In fact,

a large home may be a turn-off to them.

Millennials do not want to be in separate

parts of the home and rarely see the

other members of the family. Talk with

your real estate agent. With good

planning based on key trends and the

right updates, you can attract the

attention of millennial home buyers.

5. Make sure your home is low maintenance

Millennial buyers are looking for homes that

are low maintenance. This generation of

younger buyers prefer low-upkeep features

such as wood floors and granite countertops

because these are attractive and relatively

hassle-free.

They want a home with low maintenance

materials to make home maintenance a

breeze. Unlike their parents who enjoy

cleaning gutters or cutting grass, younger

buyers are not too keen on doing chores

on the weekend. They want their

weekend to themselves.
