NEW REAL ESTATE INVESTORS

     Nowadays public and private organizations are presented with great challenges due to the convergence of multiple generations in the different productive sectors, millennials, generation X, Y or Z and Baby Boomer as their investment objectives differ among them. Investment needs and objectives not only change based on age, they also depend on the social and cultural context. These traits have a very noticeable influence when it comes to real estate investment, for example, the generation called Baby Boomer set as one of their main objectives, the investment on a property, so they save more to cover their need of a first residence.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, investing in a property for the Millennial generation was not among their main objectives, only 23% had the goal of buying a home, according to data from the CFA Institute, a global association of investment professionals. However, during the pandemic and post-pandemic, investing in a property became one of its main objectives, doubling the demand for housing, due to the significant change in the workplace.

The real estate market is undergoing a generational change where the younger population is beginning to show more and more interest in acquiring a home, setting it as the population segment with the greatest purchase potential of real estate. According to an analysis by the real estate platform La Haus, during 2020 and 2021, 40% of real estate acquisitions were led by people between the ages of 26 and 30, who were attracted to the market by the digitization of the search and acquisition processes, the drop of interest rates, new financing modalities and, in addition, a recent tendency of construction companies to pre-sale periods their developments. Millennials choose to invest in pre-sale real estate, given the payment facilities and long-term capital gains.
