There are 76 million baby boomers, and 87 million millennials. The millennials are growing tired of living in the cities and they are growing up. Know as the me generation they are now entering the housing market. I’ve read that a lot of baby boomers aren’t selling but retiring in place creating a housing shortage. In my area homes under $250k, in good shape, are selling fast with multiple over list price offers. So real estate agents I know would welcome more inventory to sell. To top that, I also heard the millennials are even starting to golf! The Villages will be fine, so will social security if politicians keep their hands out of the cookie jar.
