Baby boomers have been a driving force in many areas of the economy, culture and consumer attitudes for several decades. As the oldest boomers approach retirement in the next few years they will begin contemplating not just whether to retire, but also where they want to live in the next stage of their life. One big component of this decision is the housing choices that boomers will make as they decide whether to sell a home, relocate or invest in real estate.
As a group, baby boomers comprise the largest population cohort in the history of the United States & Canada. The size of the group gives it vast influence over North American politics, popular cultural, and of course, real estate & interantional real estate.
To evaluate the influence of the baby boomers on the future of real estate, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) conducted a study in 2006. The findings of the research were published in report entitled Baby Boomers and Real Estate: Today and Tomorrow.
Even that the study is from 2006, and that we have lived tremendous times lately, that is exactly why the name of the study was "Baby Boomers and Real Estate: Today and Tomorrow". Demographics are demographics, and Baby Boomers are Baby Boomers. "Baby Boomers are the most powerful consumers in the marketplace today and will continue to be, regradless of the economic climate, for many years to come." - say David Weigelt & Jonathan Boehman in their great Book "Dot Boom."
