Avocados and Home SalesYoung people are struggling to find a home, and a taste for avocado might be partly to blame. It’s no secret that the price of homes all over the country have skyrocketed. What you could have bought for $600,000 twenty years ago will get you a condo the size of a large walk in closet today. And the struggle is especially real for first time home buyers who last year made up only 32% of purchases; the lowest number since 1987. Australian millionaire and property mogul Tim Gurner says a big reason for this is the spending habits of young people, and his shining example is the avocado. Right now the popular super fruit loved by millennials costs an average of $1.25 each. Gurner says he has seen young people in restaurants ordering smashed avocado toast at a cost of $19 to go with their $4 coffee. He says people should be funneling that money into a savings account to put towards a down payment. That avocado will taste even better inside your new home.
