What’s in Store for 2023 Real Estate?
The tight U.S. housing market is creating competition between millennials and baby boomers. Millennials have hit their peak home-buying age later in life, while many boomers live longer and move later, leading to the two generations vying for the same properties. Boomers often have a leg-up because of the equity they’ve accumulated over decades and their ability to make all-cash offers and waive contingencies. Almost a quarter of millennials who do buy homes get help from their parents, who are often boomers.
