EXCLUSIVE SELLER LEADS

WHAT ARE DOWNSIZERS?

As the Baby Boomers retire and Gen Xers become “Downsizers”, (also known as empty-nesters), they’re taking advantage of the hot real estate market and looking to downsize their house.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, of the 6.5 million homes sold every year, roughly 750,000 come from the senior community.  That number is expected to DOUBLE in the next few years to over 1.8 million homes, all selling from this one demographic of seniors / Downsizers.

Downsizing Seniors / Empty Nesters

One of the Best Listing Leads

As the Baby Boomers retire and Gen Xers become “Downsizers”, (also known as empty-nesters), they’re taking advantage of the hot real estate market and looking to downsize their house.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, of the 6.5 million homes sold every year, roughly 750,000 come from the senior community.  That number is expected to DOUBLE in the next few years to over 1.8 million homes, all selling from this one demographic of seniors / Downsizers.

Why should I market to Downsizers?

  • They have a large home where they’ve raised their family
  • Own a property that’s larger than your average home in the area
  • Are looking to Downsize to get something smaller
  • Plan to shift their assets and equity away from their large home that’s probably paid off
  • Pay cash for something smaller with a bedroom on the main floor

This segment has become an excellent source for listing opportunities that your competitors are likely not going after.  This under-served market of seniors are perfect candidates with a high likelihood of selling, they have equity in their house or their mortgage is paid off, and most likely have no relationship with a realtor.  

Filter your custom Downsizer lead list using dozens of demographics including:

  • Geography
  • Age
  • Income
  • Home value
  • Children no longer in the household
  • Size of home & home value
  • Home equity / LTV Loan-to-value
  • House type - Ranch, 1 ½ story, 2 story, etc

Realtors with experience working with “seniors” or “baby boomers” have a distinct advantage over those who primarily serve the typical first-time home buyer. These Downsizers are seeking expertise in navigating this major life transition. Many agents will work as a seller’s agent to help the “Downsizer” sell their home, and later act as buyer’s agent to help clients find their new property. 

For these homeowners, downsizing can represent an emotional life change. With seniors, it can be a psychological turning point in which they’re letting go of long-term property and possessions that hold sentimental value. 

The key to nurturing this downsizing niche comes down to having the proper tools that will enable you to connect with this potential market.  At The Share Group, the Downsizers niche has quickly become one of our best performing listing lead sources.  

As an investor, broker, or real estate agent, you're busy connecting with clients and managing your day-to-day tasks. You don't have time during the day to research downsizer seller leads to pursue.

The Share Group does all the work for you. We create custom downsizer seller lead lists, so you have everything right at your fingertips. 

How we source our data?

We continually update and cross-verify our Downsizer seller lead lists. We compile our datasets from multiple sources nationwide. 

The Share Group sources information from:

  • Telephone directories
  • County courthouse records
  • Credit bureaus
  • Government agencies
  • Postal services
  • Voter registration
  • Other opt-in resources

Our contact database includes a motivated seller's name, phone number, address, and email address. We make it as easy as possible for you to connect with motivated seller leads in your area.
