Millennials buck trend with first home in Wichita
Hannah Van Sickle and Kurt Morvant, both 26, bought an east side house last October with 10 percent down, citing a desire to stop paying rent. National data show millennial homeownership slipping from 39 percent in 2010 to 35.9 percent in 2014, amid tight credit and rising student debt, though some industry voices doubt the trend signals a housing slump.
