• The rest of the millennials are ages 22 to 39
• Over 40% of millennials are parents, which increases their homeownership rate from 38% to 80%
• 38% of homes purchased in 2020 will be by millennials
• 50% of the mortgages in 2020 will be secured by millennials
• 8.8-9.2 million first-time home buyers are planning on buying a home in 2020-2021 across the United States
• Denver Metro’s population will grow by 3.3 million in 2020
