1302 ET - When it comes to finding the perfect home, many Americans are thinking beyond bedrooms and bathrooms, Realtor.com says. They're picturing the holidays: the turkey, the guests, and the all-important dining table. More than half--52%--of U.S. adults say hosting Thanksgiving dinner played at least some role in their most recent home search. Younger generations are especially focused on hosting space: 60% of Gen Z and 60% of Millennials say Thanksgiving entertaining factored into their housing decisions, compared to just 47% of Gen X and 30% of Baby Boomers, suggesting that for many younger buyers, "home for the holidays" starts with having enough room to host. When asked what would make them more willing to welcome guests, ample space topped the list. (chris.wack@wsj.com)
