As the boomers start dying off in larger waves, a lot of inventory will start getting onto the market.

They’ll mostly be leaving the houses to their kids, I’d think. Unless they’ve already pulled all the equity out with HELOC spending.

The kids (plural) generally aren’t going to be living together in the place. 90%+ will turn around sell it, or rent it out, increasing stock.

Investor money may just soak it all up though, especially as certain policies make other avenues less stable.

And unlike Boomers, corporations can live forever. Permanently raising the ladder.
