The maintenance-free homes of Del Webb allow you to keep active and relax in your retirement. Leave everything to us!
Baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, and a demographic now numbering 78 million Americans are showing some interesting choices when it comes to choosing homes to live in during their retirement years.
Two-thirds of boomers currently making more than $100,000 in household income, plan to downsize when it comes to choosing their retirement residence, according to housing industry reporting firm, Hanley Wood.
Indeed, Del Webb’s recent baby boomer survey found 44% of active adults were wanting a smaller home once they began the “empty nest” portion of their lives.
These are ironic figures considering that many boomers are looking for homes that have extra rooms for offices and guest accommodations. It’s clear that older buyers will be influencing trends in home building for some time.
