Boomers, Millennials and the McMansions No One Wants   As baby boomers look to downsize out of their suburban McMansions, a generational showdown is looming: Millennials might be coming into their own as the province’s biggest  group of first time home buyers, but they aren’t exactly  lining up with offers in hand for those large, expensive homes in the suburb’s. Instead they're looking for a different kind of home- the same ones, in fact, that the empty nesters are looking to buy.   It’s a battle of the millennials vs. baby boomers playing it out in the province’s suburban housing markets.   Younger and older generations alike are gravitating towards smaller dwellings in more urban, walk able suburbs and towns with restaurants and coffee shops around the corner. It’s leading to a real estate woe: Increasing, boomers are getting stuck, because most can’t buy the home of their dreams until they unload their current ones. And many millennials have neither the desire nor the means to help them out.   There’s no question that millennials are moving to the suburb’s , but their vision of suburban living differs from the sprawling domains of the boomer generation. For one thing, many younger Canadians are reluctant to give up the excitement of urban life to settle down and start having kids. Millennials who plan to buy a home in the future are waiting because they aren’t ready to settle down yet , or another reason being not able to afford to become homeowners…

What’s Driving Lakeshore Real Estate’s Home Listing Shortage? There's a definite lack of housing inventory, and part of it can be attributed to sellers staying put   “Inventory,” “low inventory,” “multiple offers,” “low,” “high,” “strong,” “new” — those words paint a clear picture of an unbalanced housing market, one where buyers are competing for too-few homes for sale. One major contributing factor to the state of the market is that fewer homeowners seem interested in selling. But why?   Most sellers are also hoping to buy, so they are facing the same market constraints as buyers. Housing supply has not kept up with demand because building has become increasingly expensive. The fear of rising mortgage rates and equity concerns could encourage homeowners to stay put and renovate. Agents need to focus on educating clients (both buyers and sellers) and be creative when looking for listings.
