Millennials aren’t buying homes to start families like their parents did. They are buying homes so their pets have more space.

According to Bustle, millennials are buying homes because they want more room for their dogs—not because they want children. This is a sharp contrast to the buying habits of their parents.
1/3 of first-time homebuyers listed “wanting more yard space for their dog” as their No. 1 reason for wanting to buy. Many buildings and landlords don’t even allow pets, or charge a hefty deposit if they do.
I used to live in a high-rise and while it had an awesome view, it wasn’t very conducive for my 16-year old lab, who has bladder issues. The extra pet deposit started to add up quickly as well. It was much smarter for me to just buy a home where I didn’t have to jump through all of these hoops.
