The Silver Tsunami; Embracing the Changing Real Estate Market
Recent findings from Redfin reveal that nearly 59% of recent U.S. homebuyers consider purchasing a house more stressful than dating, with the process fraught with unique anxieties and challenges (Redfin). This stress is particularly relevant for baby boomers, who, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), are now the predominant buyers in the market, with a median age of 58 for repeat buyers (NAR).

Understanding the Journey Behind Downsizing
For seniors downsizing means more than just selling a house. It's an emotional journey. It's about saying goodbye to a home that holds memories and has been witness to the growth of families and the unfolding of life stories.
This demographic often owns properties compared to the homes in their area and is searching for smaller more manageable spaces that align with their current lifestyle. Their goal is to redistribute their assets and equity from these homes which are often mortgage free, at this stage of life.
Why Focus, on Downsizing Seniors?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau out of the 6.5 million homes sold each year around 750,000 are purchased by seniors. This number is expected to double in the future making it a significant and untapped market for real estate agents.
