Millennials might love technology but not enough to remove phone calls, emails, and face to face interactions from communication standards. While 88% of millennials use online resources when purchasing a home, 70% are also looking for a lender to educate them on the process. Millennials don’t want to deal with a robot, they only want technology to ease the homebuying process. Only 14% of consumers indicate they’ll respond to an automated message, or what they perceive as such.

Best place to live in America was once again awarded to Ann Arbor for the second year in a row, this time by Livability (Niche named the city such for 2017).
