Stage a Baby Boomer Home the Millennial Way<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like every generation, millennials’ needs and tastes differ from their parents\u2019 generation, as plenty of surveys have attested to. But as millennials become home owners, how can your baby boomer home sellers amp up their homes’ appeal to this younger generation’s tastes?<\/p>\n

David Charron, president and chief executive of the multiple listing service MRIS, offered up a few tips on presenting a home to appeal to millennials in a recent column in The Washington Post<\/em>. Here are a few of his suggestions:<\/p>\n

Entryway: <\/strong>\u201cMillennials prefer their living spaces to be streamlined,\u201d Charron notes. \u201cA home\u2019s entryway is one of the easiest places to make a good first impression.\u201d For example, builders are adding shelves next to electrical outlets for charging stations in new construction. Sellers can do the same. Set up a dedicated command center near the door with a place to stow keys, mail, coats, and bags, and add a tastefully styled power strip or charging center.<\/p>\n

Common areas:<\/strong> Millennials place a high emphasis on socializing, so make sure the kitchen and living room show the spaces as great places to host a party. For example, a taller-than-usual kitchen table with bar chairs may offer up that picture. An open layout arranged with several seating areas also can help buyers visualize how the home can accommodate big group gatherings without feeling too crowded. For an open house, offer up a beverage and snacks station so that visitors can see and experience the entertaining aspect of the home.<\/p>\n

Children areas: <\/strong>Millennials span the ages of 20 to 35, and many are starting families or plan to soon. They are looking for places where they can keep an eye on young children as they play indoors along with kid-friendly areas. Display maps with nearby playgrounds, parks, and bike paths outlined to show the area has plenty to offer children.<\/p>\n
