Hundreds of pages of the FBI report from the Jeffrey Epstein list of people on the flight logs are missing. The Federal budget is upside down and needs to get substantially reduced and the fraud and the corruption of the United States is in chaos. This statement is understated. The corruption continues even with the new President Donald Trump’s Administration. Stay tuned folks 😎

MemberJanuary 25, 2025 at 1:32 am in reply to: Are Baby Boomers Controlling The Housing Market?It is no doubt that Baby Boomers have played a pivotal role in the emergence of the housing market. This has been made possible because of their unique demographic and economic position.
The following is how baby boomers affect the housing market:
Important Effects of Baby Boomers on the Housing Market
Intergenerational Wealth and Home Equity:
- From the mid-1980s to the 2000s, home prices and interest rates were historically low.
- This allowed Baby Boomers to capitalize by building wealth on home equity.
- Hence, they continue to own a large share of the housing stock, especially in suburban areas and places with high-value markets.
Shortage of Homes For Millennials and Gen Z
Millennials and Gen Z will be able to get inventory by selling their homes or downsizing like many Baby Boomers; however, many more Baby Boomers have resorted to ‘aging in place.’
This approach is influenced by reasons like feeling too attached to their homes, moving being too expensive, and no real desirable inventory in the downsized market.
Emergence of Multi-generational Homes
The increasing affordability gaps witnessed by younger generations have led some Baby Boomers to open their homes to their kids and grandkids, resulting in a boom of multi-generational homes.
This dynamic directly translates into a lower inventory of homes while demand for larger homes skyrockets.
Impact On Vacation Real Estate Markets
Many baby boomers tend to influence the second market regarding vacation homes, as they regularly buy vacation properties in Florida, Arizona, and coastal regions.
They tend to have a greater cash reserve than younger buyers. Thus, their ability to pay and competitive bids also outpace younger buyers, increasing prices in these markets.
Potential Change of A New Era Wealth
As people age, it is expected that the baby boomers who obtained homes and wealth will switch to younger ones, which is bound to happen slowly. This means there will likely not be a lot of available younger generations, which further hinders the chances of younger buyers looking for homes.
Inheritances will likely change the spending power of millennials and the younger generation. However, this depends on the region and household.
Effect Of Boomers Towards Retirement
States like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee have seen baby boomers shift towards them because of better tax policies, warmer climates, and a reasonable cost of living.
These movements impact the demand for real estate in these regions, prompting higher prices and purchasing opportunities for local sellers. Meanwhile, other buyers face markets with increased competition.
Inclusion of Market Volatility and Changes In Housing
The offset from the baby boomers who are relocating out of the areas is a change we expected to outpace the ones adhered to. This is due to the rapid rise in prices for smaller homes and condos, along with the shortage of desirable retirement communities, making reasonable choices more difficult.
Regional Impacts
In urban areas with heightened demand, baby boomers holding larger homes have resulted in a shortage of housing inventory.
The movement or greater migration activity on the baby boomers’ part participants can assist in greater acquisition levels for the younger generation. However, these regions are often sluggish economically and void of significant growth.
Future Implications
As baby boomers retire and grow older, they will gradually have a salient impact on the housing market. Gradually, the houses that they occupy will become accessible to the younger generation, which will, in some way, help with the persistent housing shortage.
What remains largely uncertain is how soon this population shift will occur, as it is determined by how the economy charges, the interest rates, housing policies, and retirement dynamics.
To conclude, it is indisputable that baby boomers have earned that respect in the housing market as they have jointly single-handedly tackled problems related to inventory, supply, value, and demand. Where and how the elderly choose to invest their wealth will showcase a plethora of effects for many years.
