Ah yes, the oft degraded millennial generation. The generation that older folks love to castigate for being...well, young. I recall sitting at a bar a couple of years ago with a very bright law student who happened to be of that generation. I loved his comment that basically put the blame on the PARENTS of that generation, not the generation itself. A key example, "Hey, we didn't give ourselves participation trophies...YOU DID!" And he's not wrong.
Anyway, an article in today's WSJ illustrates that the millennials are out buying houses like there is no tomorrow.
So it appears that the millennial generation is...well, doing exactly what others did before them. Went to school. Got a job. Got married. Bought a house. Amazing, isn't it?

Millennials, long viewed as perennial home renters who were reluctant or unable to buy, are now emerging as a driving force in the U.S. housing market’s recent recovery.
Demand from millennials, who today range from their mid-20s to late 30s, has been increasingly important to the housing market since at least the middle of the last decade. But more recently, these new homeowners have been pushing aside older generations to become an even bigger influence.
