It is estimated that 42 percent or 32 million Baby Boomers are planning to move and 38 percent of them are considering brand new homes when they do so [Zillow Group, Inc]. This demand for new homes among 55 years and older individuals, will likely lead to new opportunities in the home building space. Organizations that can capitalize on these shifting demographics and consumer buying behavior by matching their business model to serve them have tremendous upside.
