Of the 19 percent of Ontarians who are currently looking for a home, 83 percent of those falling into the millennial cohort said they are looking for detached, semi-detached or townhouse properties. 51 percent of first-time buyers said they are hoping to buy a detached home, with 22 percent opting for a townhouse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The data is hard to reconcile with the thousands of condo units currently being built in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOntario needs to address the missing middle of housing supply by exploring innovative solutions like laneway housing and multi-unit homes, such as townhouses, stacked flats or mid-rise buildings, especially in downtown and urban areas,\u201d said OREA president Sean Morrison in a statement accompanying the report.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As it stands, millennial buyers are trapped in the airless space between their desires and reality : They may be most interested in landing spacious detached properties, but the survey also found that millennials\u2019 overwhelming concern when purchasing a home is price &#8212; two priorities that will forever be in conflict with one another. Most millennials also said they prefer to live in downtown, urban or suburban locations, which are generally the most expensive areas of any major population center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The question for investors is just how seriously to take these conflicting desires. Millennials may want space, but few have the buying power to secure financing on a $800,000 semi, let alone a $1 million detached home. Even getting into a $600,000 condo will be tricky for most.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What the OREA report ignores is that the majority of millennials wanting to live in large Ontario cities will be renting for years before they scrimp and save their way to a five percent down payment. With declining inventory forcing prices upward, those down payments will almost certainly grow faster than the wages of Ontario\u2019s millennial buyers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite what they say they want, millennials are, and will largely remain, a generation of renters. Targeting them as tenants will be a wiser move than targeting them as buyers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadianrealestatemagazine.ca\/news\/hoping-to-target-millennial-buyers-avoid-condo-properties-says-new-report-327349.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hoping to Target Millennial Buyers?
