Well, it was bound to happen – a housing survey tied to next week’s Thanksgiving holiday!
According to a new Realtor.com survey, more than half (52%) of said that hosting duties for the annual Thanksgiving dinner played at least some role in their most recent home search. The survey found 60% of Gen Z and 60% of Millennials claiming Thanksgiving entertaining factored into their housing decisions, compared to 47% of Gen X and 30% of Baby Boomers.
When asked what would make them more willing to welcome holiday season guests, a large family room (92%) and big kitchen (92%) were tied as the top motivators, followed by a large dining room (86%0 and a guest bathroom (87%). However, less than half of respondents (44%) said they would rather have a spare bedroom, while an equal share (45%) say they’d prefer an extra bathroom. Gen Z stands out as the only group tilting toward an extra bathroom (48%) over an extra bedroom (39%). One- and two-person households preferred two bathrooms, while homes with three or more people agree that three bathrooms is the magic number.
The survey polled 1,000 adults (age 18 to 65) from Oct. 17-19.
