The Great Non-Move: How Baby Boomers Are Shaping Housing in 2025

So here’s the truth: that mythical “silver tsunami” everyone’s been talking about? You know, the idea that millions of baby boomers are going to list their homes and flood the market with inventory? Yeah… that’s not happening. Not now, not soon—and maybe not ever.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why 1 in 3 boomers say they have no plans to ever move

• How 67% of boomer homeowners have lived in their homes for over 16 years—and love them

• Why older homeowners aren't budging even though home values are high (hint: so are replacement costs)

• What this means for younger buyers (and why even 1 in 5 Gen Z & Millennials say they’ll never sell either)

• The reality of our aging population: Kids are disappearing, retirees are multiplying, and now in 11 states, there are more older adults than children

• And yes… why some folks are blaming Boomers for housing shortages—and whether that’s fair or not

This episode is part real estate truth bomb 💣, part sociology lesson, and part passionate plea to understand what’s really going on behind the scenes of the housing crisis.

If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.

Until next time, stay curious, stay grateful, and as always… stay ALL IN!
