baby boomer: Conservative Buyers Consider Westlake Village in Broomfield - 01/20/12 02:36 PM
There is something for everyone in Westlake Village in Broomfield.  Every style you could want is there whether you are a baby boomer and prefer a ranch or whether you are someone younger with or without a family and prefer a two story, tri-level or 4-level.
What I like about Westlake Village is that the homes there are older, most of them built in the 1970's, but are priced very moderately and I think many buyers in today's market are wanting to play it safe and buy conservatively.  To that I say, "Way to go, I like it!!"

baby boomer: Baby Boomers Bring It On!! - 01/10/12 03:02 PM
 We baby boomers are ready or will be ready very soon, to the tune of 77 million, to downsize from their much too large, way too many floored, and way too high maintenance homes, to ranches priced between $140,000 to $230,000.  What do baby boomers have that other would be buyers or sellers do not?  Equity in their homes for one thing.  Being a baby boomer myself, I can attest to the fact that in our younger days, we were taught to build up equity in our homes by making the payments on time and extra payments, if possible, rather than counting on … (1 comments)

This statistic from NAR shows the impact of the baby boomers in every market today, including the real estate market.  Statistics from a NAR report this month show that the typical repeat buyer was 53 years old and earned $96,600.  Repeat buyers purchased a median 2,100 square foot home costing $219,500.   First-time buyers were typcially 31 years of age and the median income was $62,400.  They purchased a 1,570 square foot home costing $155,000.  Their estimated median monthly mortgage principal and interest payment was $794.

baby boomer: Gate N Green for the 55+ Crowd in Broomfield CO - 03/15/10 05:59 PM
Broomfield has many great options for the downsizing baby boomers. 
The development of which I would like to speak today is called Gate N Green.  It is for the 55 and over age group.  It was built in several phases between the early 1970's and late 1980's.  The homes there are all ranches with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2 car garages. 
It's centrally located in Broomfield and very near the local golfcourse.  On the grounds there is an indoor pool to swim in year round, a nice clubhouse to use when the family comes to visit and near open space to go … (0 comments)
