Baby Boomers shaping the way builders build |
At a recent meeting in Arizonia of the National Association of homebuilders, it was determined that the baby boomers will have a real impact of the shaping of the housing market.
America's 50plus population will hit over 100 million by 2010. The building industry is developing a strong sense of importance of this segment of the market. The boomers are no longer looking for the traditional *retirement* community. They want to live somewhere that they can remain active and stay employed if they choose.
Boomers will want informality and spontanous no longer will a simple clubhouse with tennis and golf do. The boomer wants high tech and all the multi media at their fingertips. Fitness and health are still a priority but for the boomers, it should be natrual walkable areas.
I am a boomer and I would agree with the above, anyone else agree?
