(Intro) Baby boomers are the largest part of the population in America, and have also been leading the charge in the housing market’s recovery. In fact, according to a recent survey by Merrill Lynch, 64%  of retirees say they are likely to move at least once during retirement.

James Homes, staying connected to the important people in their lives is a key consideration for empty-nesters when choosing a new-construction home, with many buyers looking for a smaller home within proximity to their current location.
