Pet Friendly Spaces are important to 33% of Millennial home buying prospects.

Professional Builder Magazine published results of recent research about Millennial home buyers this week. The bottom line is that Dogs, Kids and Equity are major considerations for purchasing a new home for this important segment of first time home buyers. And when it comes to their furry companions, here are three things that influence 33% of millennial home buying prospects:

• Big fenced yards
• Nearby Parks
• Dog-friendly neighborhoods

Do dogs trump Marriage and Kids for this demographic? No they don't. But often they are a first step in making a commitment together. The survey, produced by Sun Trust Mortgage Company, indicates that couples looking for a home are often thinking about more space for their canine friends as part of making that next commitment of home ownership together. Savvy builder Marketers are starting to use pet friendly promotions to highlight pet-friendly benefits of their Homes and Communities.  Here's a short list of products being used by National Home Builders to promote their communities to dog-loving home buying prospects:

• Dog Treats in customized jar
• Collapsible water bowls
• Dog Food Dishes
• Dog Bandanas
• Dog Leashes
• On-the-go dog water bottles
