Gardening Generations

Continuing with our non-real estate videos - this one looks at the joys of gardening. If you have been to the local big box stores or large grocery stores here in San Antonio during the last 2 weeks, chances are you have seen all the spring flowers for sale - and ready for your home or garden. Enjoy the video!

This video ends with acres of flowers - like tulips (tulips in San Antonio??) Unknown when making the video, today we share this story (click on the tulips):

Generations the Video

Generations are defined by years of birth. Though it is not an exact science, it is a way of recognizing shifts in how each generation perceives the reality of the world in which we live. Perhaps you would enjoy an earlier post we did on this as well.

Generations Defined

Seems every day we hear about millennials – and relatively soon, we can expect to hear more conversations about Generation Z as they prepare to manage the world and take their place in history.

I decided it was time to recheck the “age years” for each group. I understand some modifications were made and I suppose this is as good a time as any to point out these time definitions are not an exact science. Research suggests that the time frame is more of a tool to analyze the shifts in how each age group experiences the world. Experiences in technology, economics, politics and social views change over time – and those changes define the reality for each generation.

Today, the millennials are the most educated group ever to exist. But with that, today’s new home buying generation is burdened with enormous and unprecedented student debt. We need to find solutions – some more immediate while others to help ensure the situation is not repeated.

Our real estate business welcomes clients of all generations. Maybe we helped your mom or dad – or even the grands – but we want to help this next generation of home buyers get off to a good start. Call today and let’s explore the options. Everyone should have the opportunity to have a home you own!

Gen Z, iGen, or Centennials: Born 1996 – Present
Millennials or Gen Y: Born 1981 – 1996
Generation X: Born 1965 – 1980
Baby Boomers: Born 1946 – 1964
Silent Generation: Born 1928 – 1945

ALL

Seems to be pretty solid - ALL generations have the desire to own their home. Rent works in some cases and for some reasons - I am renting right now. But, the bottom line - and not just in America - people of all ages - all generations - clearly prefer to call a home their own!
