Or maybe owning a home isn't as high a priority for you as it was for earlier generations? So high that you sacrifice a lot of other things, including living in a much more modest place than the one you are renting now?
An argument I have had so many times with the fiancee (both on the older side but still millennial) is that renting means we don't have to deal with the things that can go wrong with a property. Absolute worst case scenario? We can just pack up and move without hiring lawyers and trying to sell a house. She would much prefer to settle and buy a place.
On the flip side of the same coin we don't yet have kids or any real specific ties to the area right now so my opinion may eventually change.
I realise my two data points are opposing and basically cancel each other out. Maybe grouping by "millennial" is too vague.
