March 30 2015
This is part one of The Millennial House Hunt, my series on what I, as a millennial, care about and look for when shopping for a home.
Having watched one too many episodes of House Hunters, I thought, "Hey, if these people can do it, why can't I?" So, I decided to see what it would be like for me to buy a house by undertaking a fictitious home-purchasing quest – millennial style.
The Millennial Homebuyer Setup
A certain suspension of disbelief was necessary, but I want to pursue the millennial search in all earnestness. Following that mandate, I made an outline of realistic limitations (sorry $12,000,000 mansion in Napa Valley, we still love you).

- A millennial home buyer would (hopefully) have stable finances and steady income
- They would also (probably) not be looking for mansions and million dollar properties
