A new LendingTree study reveals the top 10 cities that are draw- ing the most homebuyers from the millennial generation (de- fined as born between 1981 and 1996). The three most popular cities for millennials to put down roots are Minneapolis, Min- nesota; Buffalo, New York; and San Jose, California, as these are the metro areas that have the greatest number of home purchase bids from millennials according to LendingTree's data. After analyzing the amount of new purchase mortgage requests within the nation's 50 most populated metro areas from data gathered between January 2019 to November 2019, LendingTree discovered that it was the millennial generation that actually made up more than half of the home seekers looking to purchase in these specific large city-regions. 1 1 1 1 6 6 6 6 2 2 7 7 7 7 5 5 5 5 10 10 10 10 13 13 13 13 12 12 12 12 15 15 15 15 3 3 8 8 8 8 4 4 2 2 3 3 4 4 9 9 9 9 11 11 11 11 14 14 14 14
