Can The Boomers Lead Us Out Of The Slump?

If it truly is a numbers game, more than 78 million baby boomers... born between 1946 to 1964... will reach age 55 over the next 10 years. This group has taken a beating with declines in their home values, IRA's and other retirement plans. The dreams of early retirement and decades of carefree living may seem further off right now, but I have personally seen this group of people re-write the book on how things are done.

Last October, we featured an article about the aging population: http://floridagulfpropertypurteeteam.blogspot.com/2009/10/social-economic-implications-of-aging.html This is an innovative group with massive influence with their actions. They are not inclined to stay down. This hard-working group may have just the answer to analyzing what caused this economic downturn and how to propel it forward. Even though none of us has been immune to the implications of the last couple of years, I personally am so grateful we are already in the Tampa Bay area. As others discover its tremendous appeal, we as realtors are doing all we can to help ensure they get the same benefits of living in the area as we have.
