Dogs Influence Millennial Home Purchases

In a 2017 SunTrust Mortgage survey, 33% of millennial Americans who had purchased their first home said the need for a better space or yard for a dog influenced their decision. Dogs ranked third among the cited reasons, behind more living space at 66% and building equity at 36%, but ahead of marriage at 25% and having a child at 19%. Harris Poll conducted the online survey among 412 Americans aged 18 to 36, including 248 first-time homeowners.
