These people grew up with real newspapers, they actually spoke to their neighbors face-to-face and they appreciate old-fashioned common sense and communication.
Give your listing presentations lots of human touch and avoid high-tech gadgetry (email me at and I’ll send you a free webinar on technology versus the human touch). So, how do you capitalize on this trend? Here are a few tips: Over the next two decades, Boomers will boost the nation’s senior population by 30 million, and they’ll be looking to sell their homes because, according to NAR, people over age 65 typically release much more housing than they absorb.Ī NAR economist has said this supply of homes could mean more buying opportunities for younger generations who will likely absorb up to 80 percent of the available inventory of owner-occupied housing.
Word is out from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) that both Baby Boomers and folks in their twenties and thirties will set the stage for real estate transactions through 2032. If you’re looking for a strategy to make some money over the next 20 years, you need to think young…and old.
