Facts About the Millennial Real Estate Trends in Dallas
Finding a top Dallas real estate agent for all the buyers can be a challenging process especially for millennial buyers as they are first time home buyers and there are over 30,000 real estate agents just in the Dallas-Fort Worth area! Millennial buyers and sellers have a number of things that are important to them that they look for in a REALTOR they want to hire.
The top characteristic that millennial buyers and sellers look for in a Dallas real estate agent are honesty and trustworthiness.
According to the 2019 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report. by National Association of REALTORS, over 28% of buyers 21 to 28 years (Younger Millennials/Gen Yers) and over 22% of buyers 29 to 38 years (Older Millennials/Gen Yers) look to hire an honest and trustworthy agent. This percentage is much higher than buyers in other age segments. One of the possible reasons for this is that most of the millennial home buyers are first time home buyers and lack experience in real estate transactions. They are able to access a lot of information online but they still want someone knowledgeable and trustworthy to help them make sense of the complicated real estate sale and purchase processes.
