Your generation is the largest group of homebuyers in the market today and has been since 2014, according to the <a title=\"National Association of Realtors\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/research-and-statistics\/research-reports\/home-buyer-and-seller-generational-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>National Association of Realtors<\/em><\/a> (NAR). And while other millennials are looking to buy for the first time, you may be one of the many who are now discovering you\u2019ve outgrown your home.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, you\u2019re not alone. The past two years brought about significant changes for many people, and today, homeowners are reevaluating what they truly need in a home. As a recent report from the <a title=\"Wall Street Journal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/millennials-are-supercharging-the-housing-market-11639496815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a> states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThey say the pandemic and the emergence of remote work accelerated millennial home-buying trends already under way. . . . <strong>Millennials who already owned homes traded up for more space<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re working <a title=\"remotely\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2022\/02\/04\/how-remote-work-impacts-your-home-search-infographic\/\">remotely<\/a> now or simply have a growing need for additional space, it may be time to move. And even if you purchased your current home sometime over the last few years, you can still move into a different one that has the space and features you\u2019re looking for. That\u2019s because there\u2019s a good chance you have <a title=\"more equity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2021\/12\/21\/the-average-homeowner-gained-56700-in-equity-over-the-past-year\/\">more equity<\/a> than you realize. As Diana Olick, Real Estate Correspondent for <em>CNBC<\/em>, <a title=\"notes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/02\/03\/housing-wealth-is-setting-new-records-for-both-owners-and-sellers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">notes<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<strong><em>The stunning jump in home values over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic has given U.S. homeowners record amounts of housing wealth<\/em><\/strong><em>. . . .

About 42% of homeowners were considered equity-rich at the end of last year, meaning their mortgages were half or less than half the value of their home<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Growing equity can be the key you need to fuel your next move, especially if you\u2019re looking to purchase a larger home. When you <a title=\"sell\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2022\/02\/16\/more-people-are-planning-to-buy-a-home-soon\/\">sell<\/a> your current house, the equity that comes back to you in the sale can be used toward the <a title=\"down payment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2022\/01\/03\/how-much-do-you-need-for-your-down-payment\/\">down payment<\/a>on your next home.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, your purchasing power may be greater than you realize, making a <a title=\"move\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2022\/01\/18\/sellers-dont-wait-until-spring-to-make-your-move\/\">move<\/a> to a larger home a realistic option. <strong>That, plus your changing needs, might make <\/strong><a title=\"moving\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2022\/02\/01\/why-a-move-could-bring-you-more-happiness-this-year\/\"><strong>moving<\/strong><\/a><strong> now more desirable than ever.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re a millennial thinking about moving this year, you\u2019re not alone.
