Fifty-six percent of consumers in the United States and United Kingdom admit to being jealous of other people’s homes, according to a survey of more than 1,000 conducted by bathroom retailer QS Supplies. Millennials are the generation greenest with envy at 60.8% compared to 53.8% of Gen Xers and 37.9% of baby boomers. “More likely, millennials are moved to envy by the proliferation of social media,” researchers say.
Overall, home size evoked the most consumer envy, with 26% of survey respondents citing such. The second-most envied home feature was the kitchen. “A good-looking kitchen is one of the key features to help sell a home, encouraging buyers to put their money where their envy is, so it’s no surprise that this room was mentioned often by our respondents,” the researchers note.
