@RealtyTimes Sent me a story today affirming my thoughts. Boomers are aging in place with no plans to move!
Here it is:
Staying put
The study also found that “more than half of those 45 and older want to remain in their current homes for their senior years,” which jives with a recent Chicago Tribune story. “Baby Boomers, the 75 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964, are clogging up the housing market,” said HousingWire of the article. “Instead of moving to retirement communities like many of their parents did when they got older, Baby Boomers are opting to age in place. The “near-gridlock” is keeping about 1.6 million houses off the national market, the Tribune story said, citing a Freddie Mac analysis.”
Just think how this would open up some neighborhoods to families with kids???…tc
To start the new quarter, this week’s MLS Data has something to say…
As always, we will have to wait and see, but in the meantime, give us a call. Let’s talk about your plans. It’s never too soon to reach out and begin a plan. “Life Happens”, and so your plan should be ready for it.
What did we do this summer? It seems like every second was filled this summer. Nothing else slows the whole world down more than rocking with a grandchild on one’s lap. I we did a lot of this. I heard, “One’s children are the rainbow of life, but one’s grandchildren are the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow”. I joined an investment club. Having been in a couple of other clubs. It’s fun getting out once a month and discussing the benefits of owning shares of great companies. For me, it’s very exciting.
Dee and Caroline, with Andrew this year, rode the Triple-by-Pass for the 6th straight year. I’m always amazed at the feat of riding a bike 120 miles in a day. We celebrated Cordelia’s 1st Birthday. Cordie, one of the “identical
cousins” celebrated #1. This takes on great meaning when you read the rest of this. Colette’s is coming up very shortly. Will and I attended the Land Rover National Rally. This is always fun. 
We ran great trails in the San Juan Range with great friends and new friends. Funny how Britsh built slabs of Aloy and Grit bring people together from all corners of the earth to enjoy a hobby. Dee and I attended the Joe Bonamassa concert at Red Rocks. Every
year, we have a tradition of hitting Red Rocks. I took Dee to see Joe. A consumate blues guitarist with a little bit of an Eric Clapton sound. It looked sold out to me. She’s choosing the artist for 2020! The entire Cryer side of Dee’s family visited Cape Cod for Aunt 
Madeline’s 100th birthday. Madeline had some words of wisdom for me. She told me the hardest part of living such a long life, “I’ve outlived all my friends”. She loves the little ones, she loves to smile, she loves her faith and family. A remarkable woman, and we are all very proud for this opportunity. 100 Years!!! I started the DEA’s Citizens Academy this month. I’ve attended several citizens academies as some of you know. I’m really enjoying it, and will give you a full review when finished.
Santa Claus, I take lots of grief from the youngsters in the office. In then end, I believe, Cordie and Letie will thank me for my efforts. Dee tells me, it’s gone my 01/01/2020!!!
Whether it’s the 300 days of sunshine per year, close proximity to the Rocky Mountains, the thriving economy, or the vibrant arts and entertainment culture, it’s easy to see why Denver, Colorado has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States for the last several years. .jpg)
Uncertainty categorizes the nation’s overall economic climate. But what does it mean for Realtors® and their clients in Denver-area’s housing market? Global growth and business confidence are down while consumer spending remains up. 
After a long hot summer, the temperatures are finally starting to simmer down. With the start of Fall come many of our favorite things, including, of course, the colors! On the streets, in restaurants, at the malls — everywhere you look — there are vibrant oranges and boisterous blues. Blues? 
I like fall. I’ve never looked at fall as the end of something, but somewhat of a beginning. This contrarian view is often viewed by others and family as CRAZY, but It’s just how I’m wired.
Those of you following this Blog know I like to share. This morning, I have something special to share. I’ve been following 
Now, back to Jim Rogers. Jim’s from Alabama, my father was from Alabama. There is just something hypnotizing about that southern drawl. He rattles along, but then those pearls of wisdom arrive on a silver platter. Eat them up!!! Today’s pearl, Catastrophe = Opportunity.
I want to give you something to think about this weekend. We all see it. This person likes this party or politician, and that person likes that party or politician. They both are “good friends” of yours, but not necessarily safe to have at the same dinner party! Everyday on social media, the White Hats and Black Hats of each issue battle it out on Twitter. People get muted on Facebook. What’s to be done?
And that is why, last night was my first class with the
