The report used U.S. census data and a Zillow survey of more than 13,000 home buyers, sellers, owners and renters.Of millennial buyers who moved in the last year, 64 percent stayed in the same city and just 7 percent moved to a different state, the Zillow study said.The Harvard study by its Joint Center for Housing Studies – which used data from the census and the Department of Housing and Urban Development as well as its own analysis – found most stereotypes associated with millennial homebuyers were not true.It said among the misconceptions were that millennials want to live in urban locations closer to employment, commercial and social centers; prefer the flexibility of renting; and are unwilling to take on the financial risks of ownership in the wake of the housing market collapse."
