Home Options that Suitable for the Young Generation

Home Options that Suitable for the Young Generation

Today, the number of young people who are sensitive to the importance of owning a house or property is very small, the allocation of income is mostly used in lifestyle and traveling, therefore they choose to rent a house, as well as those who still live with their parents.

Reporting from detikcom, Chief Marketing Office Elevee Condominium Alvin Andronicus stated that people who are 27 years old and above should start learning to  invest their income to property. Moreover, there are many banks that offer conveniences such as mortgages that will actually be very helpful for millennials and gen Z.

So then, what kind of houses are still in demand by the younger generation now? 

Well, based on trends generally seen in recent years, here are some types of properties that might still be in demand in 2023: 

  1.  Houses with Open Spaces 

Properties that have open spaces such as gardens, backyards, or terraces are likely to remain in demand. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for personal space and outdoor space for recreation and entertainment. Open space is indispensable in the house as it helps air circulation, at least for the younger generation who are married and have children, open space will play an important role in the child's growth and development.

     2.  Multigenerational Homes 

Homes that have designs that allow multiple generations of a family to live together are increasingly in demand. This can include apartments with separate units or homes with additional space that can be converted into living quarters for additional family members. For millennials who still live with their parents, owning their own home may not be a priority, but they may expect it to be passed down to them in the future. 

   3.  Technology- Based Properties 

Properties equipped with smart technology such as smart security systems, smart temperature control, and home management systems are likely to remain popular amidst technological developments. Nowadays, controlling energy usage is a concern for millennials, so a home with tech features will reduce a lot of chores, for example, a home with automatic lights that will turn on when it's dark and turn off when morning comes, or smart home features with just a tap of the hand, some furniture will be activated.

   4.  Sustainable and Eco-friendly Properties 

Awareness of environmental issues is increasing, and many people are looking for eco-friendly properties with designs that focus on energy efficiency and the use of sustainable materials. For example, by using recycled materials, such as the bottle house design like the bottle house by Ridwan Kamil. Rustic house designs are also very popular today because they involve recycled materials such as tree trunks, exposed bricks, and so on.

   5.  Small Apartments in Strategic Locations

In densely populated urban areas, apartments that are small in size but strategically located close to public facilities such as transportation, shopping malls, and workplaces are still in demand by those who prioritize a practical lifestyle. For millennials who have a hectic workday, which makes home a place to just rest, apartments are a good solution, plus the city areas that are densely packed with offices will be difficult to find landed houses because the amount of land is getting smaller.

   6.  Rural or Out of Town Properties

The pandemic has prompted some people to look for properties outside the city or in rural areas, as they can work remotely and want a quieter and more natural environment. Nowadays there are many jobs that can be done remotely or do not have to come to the office, so the younger generation can work without having to traffic and spend time on the road. Houses in areas far from big cities are indeed cheaper, the area is also still beautiful, but it would be nice if you choose this property to look for one that is also close to public transportation such as KRL, MRT, and so on.

   7.  Investable Property

Properties that have good rental potential or the prospect of increasing property value are still attractive to investors. This can include apartments in urban areas or houses with future development potential. Property investment is the next step for the younger generation who already understand the importance of owning property, this can encourage passive income for millennials, for example rental fees from the property they own.

Property trends can vary greatly based on geographic location, economic conditions, and ongoing global events. These trends will always be dynamic and have the latest news updates all the time.
