Millennials are edging their way into a bigger share of the homebuying market every year. Younger millennials, ages 25 to 33, make up 38% of the market, and as many as 75% of younger and older millennials were first-time homebuyers, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Buying a home is just the first step — often there are repairs, upgrades and decorative touches new homeowners need and want to make. What better way to do so affordably than to shop for essentials at Lowe’s?
Here are seven Lowe’s items millennials should buy for their new homes.
Ring Smart Wireless Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Camera
Keep your new home safe, monitor who comes and goes or keep your finger on the pulse of a minor at home alone with this Ring Wi-Fi enabled video doorbell. This smart, wireless doorbell camera in satin nickel “color” allows for two-way talking and comfort that all is well on the homefront. Get this security for $99.99.
Clorox 225-Count Crisp Lemon and Fresh Scent Disinfectant Wipes
New homeowners are often surprised to find just how many grimy little corners the previous owner left behind, even if everything looks tidy on the surface. Disinfect your new home to your heart’s content with this three-pack of Clorox wipes, 225-count with each in lemon and fresh scents.
For just $13.78, your house will remain germ-free and sparkling for many months to come.
Zircon StudSensor
A new home means new places to hang your art, photos, degrees, decorations and more. Before you take hammer and nail to your new walls, be sure to get a Zircon StudSensor for scanning wood and metal up to 1.5 inches in depth. For just under $20, you’ll get peace of mind that anything you hang stays put and doesn’t damage your walls.
Commander Plastic Heavy Duty Five-Tier Utility Shelving Unit
A new house can bring with it as many frustrations as delights — not the least a change in storage space. If you need to maximize your storage but don’t have as much square footage as before, check out these five-tier heavy duty shelving units from Lowe’s. For just under $105, you will instantly gain space and organization. Dimensions are 48 inches wide by 20 inches deep by 72 inches high.
Dewalt Xtreme 12-Volt Cordless Drill
There are endless opportunities to utilize this Dewalt 12-volt cordless drill in a new home. Whether fixing something, building something or just putting together furniture, you’ll be very glad not to have to use a manual screwdriver or related tools in the early days after being a new home. This high-quality one is battery operated and comes with a charger and storage bag. You can get it for $149 at Lowe’s.
Google Nest Smart Thermostat
Energy prices are often one of the biggest expenses in the months when you need to run either heat or air conditioning the most. Smart thermostats can help automate and regulate your home temperature, minimizing energy consumption at peak hours and still keeping your home perfect temperate. For just $129.99, you can take home Google Nest’s Smart Thermostat.
Kobalt 100-Piece Household Tool Set With Hard Case
If you weren’t handy before buying a house, you may quickly discover a need to be. The more you can learn to DIY, the better, since costs to hire help add up quickly and add unnecessary time to projects you could whip out on your own if you just had the right tools. Now you can, with this Kobalt 100-piece household tool set (with a cool multitiered hard case) for just $99. That’s already a significant steal from its original price of $229. The offer ends Jan. 31, 2025, however, so jump on it.
