 Joining me now is Jonathan and Drew Scott the co-stars of HGTV's property brothers guys. It's great to see you here. Thanks for joining us So property brothers is such a huge success And I want to talk to you guys about this notion of the stay-at-home economy where people aren't going out as much anymore They're investing in their home so they can stay home and watch Netflix. What do you guys make of that? Well, we call it staycation. I mean you spend so much money on your house You said spend so much money putting in the features that you want to have and nowadays people are doing more like Theatres or home gyms if you're spending all this money Then why spend more money to go away on a vacation to some other property when you can actually just enjoy Or maybe people are just less so maybe people are anti-social these days. They want to stay in their home I don't know what it is, but at the end of the day if you're creating these spaces that Basically make your homework harder for you. I think that's what it's all about Your home should make your life easier and what are some of the interesting features that people want right? I mean you guys were talking earlier about you know a self-flushing toilet. I mean it's bizarre Who doesn't want a self-flushing toilet? Technology is a huge thing energy efficiency Solar for example we converted our home in Vegas to solar. It's almost most of the year It's completely run by solar you have as well like the theater rooms entertainment rooms So people will have you know for example my house I'm putting in a screen that will come down out of the ceilings So you can have a large screen instead of just a regular TV and then being able to control things remotely You know whether you want to change temperature turn lights on and off Just don't do what drew does and freak out as fiance by remotely He'll be in another city and he'll have a TV go on in another room so she hears voices Let me ask you because every homeowner has a wishlist right they want you know this type of flooring or this type of countertop How is the wish list different for men versus women? Okay, first off. I'm gonna tell you the wish lists are always here for budget and then what they can afford is always here I would actually say that some guys think for example like a contingency your budget You have your budget and then you have a contingency for any problems that come up during a renovation for example Or if you're purchasing a place you always have a little bit of a buffer guys think that's for a big screen TV Women are usually a little bit more savvy, but they also think about the family spaces of the home Everybody adds stuff on add-ons are out even drew so we're renovating drew in Wisconsin's house right now in Los Angeles They're doing add-ons because once the space is coming together like you know this would be really cool So you have to really be diligent when you set your budget and understand what's going into it and understand What things you could always add down the road that aren't going to cost any more than they would right now? And those are the smart decisions, but the things once that when the walls are open during a renovation Those are the things that you want to make sure you get the right installation the right technology behind the walls because you Don't want to go tearing a wall back open after whether it's you know female or male buyers husband or wife All buyers tend to get emotionally charged whether they're buying selling or renovating and that's why us as professionals are here It's the same with chase bank when they're on the lending side of it All of us professionals are here to try and pull the pull the motion out of it Give you that third-party opinion as to what you can do to protect and bring them back to reality And then bring them back to reality That's exactly it you can't make emotional decisions with the biggest investment in your life now What is your advice for the millennial home bar? We know Millennials obviously are burdened with student loan debt credit card It's hard for them to be able to save for a down payment It is so looking at creative ways to get into home and don't never be desperate to get into home ownership Because that's a great way for you to guarantee you'll fail But sometimes we'll have people that will partner with a family member so that the two of them can get into home ownership Or they'll partner with somebody else Maybe they'll have a rental suite so that instead of having to pay the mortgage cost themselves They have something else there are products that are designed so you don't have to have 25% to put down But you really need to be diligent in making sure that your credit's in line and that you're organized when you get into home ownership I also have a part of the campaign with what we're doing with Chase They have a snapshot on Google of what people are searching surrounding home ownership Okay, and one thing that we've noticed for first-time home buyers searching in that category is up 44% from last year So that's a good sign. It's a really good sign It means there are a lot of millennials a lot of young buyers They're looking to get in there and and get into home ownership And the one thing to keep in mind is that not every product is right for every buyer You have different lending products that can work for different people And that's why it's important to talk with the professionals that can kind of lay that out for you and show You the best path for you to get into home ownership. All right And lastly, which is more important in the home buying process the realtor or the contractor? Well, the contractor carries power tools, so you don't want to mess well You wouldn't get to that point if it wasn't for me and you wouldn't get to my point if it wasn't for your lender So it's sort of it's that whole pie, right? You have all these pieces of the pie that really need to work together All right, I think there's some sibling rivalry here. Oh Just asked you on the one last question. Yes one brother versus brother this season. All right, this interview is over And with that we'll end it there Jonathan Drew Scott. Thank you for joining us. I really appreciate it
