Focus on single-family homes and schools. Gen Xers still have kids, so convenience to schools carries weight. And 87% of Gen X buyers purchased detached single-family homes.

Find their family and friends. Research shows that while younger buyers were more likely to need a larger home or move for job relocation, Gen Xers want to be closer to family or friends.
