Millennials, as it turns out, do want a home of their own — if only so their dogs are more comfortable. In spite of reports that Generation Y is avoiding purchasing homes (and even an accusation that they spend too much money on avocado toast to afford one), a report by CNN Money showed millennials were the largest group of homebuyers in 2016.

But don’t expect them to be walking down the aisle any faster. A recent survey conducted by Harris Poll found that 33 percent of millennials say having better space or a yard for their dog motivated the purchase of their first home. Marriage was the driving force behind 25 percent of homebuyers that age, and having a child was named by only 19 percent.
