Advice for First-Time Homebuyers Facing “Fix It” Firsts

Posted

Millennials now make up the largest share of homebuyers (36%) in the U.S. and the majority of the homes (53%) they purchase are fixer-uppers. While younger generations are considered problem solvers, many suffer from DIY “analysis paralysis,” intimidated by their own to-do list.
