Contractors beware of the next boom, because its going to be a big one!
Yes, we need to stay positive with this economy the way it is. But when did we ever say we can’t dream a little bit here.
I suppose I have had and heard enough bad things to last me a decade. So I believe it’s time to start moving forward to the next BIG thing. And no matter what you might think the baby boomers will be the next big thing!
Now, I for one thought that the boomers would have started but because of this little thing called a recession we had to stop and put our plans on hold for a while.
Yes, I am one of those boomers and I would have to say that most of my tribe, like me had to back up and regroup some what.
I mean if you lose half of your nest egg then yes it will take some doing to get it back. So what I drive an older vehicle for a while. Stay home more and count the pennies instead of going out to diner 2-3 times a week with friends.
Maybe I’ll buy a condo instead of that new home on the water with the new boat.
Now, I will stop with all the poor me attitude along with my tribe of boomers.
Believe me, we boomers will be spending a lot of money. We will not let a recession stop our plans to retire and have all the fun things we deserve. Think about this? Now is the time for us to buy that retirement home in Florida or Arizona or California or the Carolina’s because we can make up what we lost just by buying right now while the real estate market is still depressed.
Homes are selling all around me here in Florida. Who are the buyers? Baby boomers from all the winter states.
Contractors need to be looking into this market and talking to the Realtor in your area and keep your ears wide open because you won’t want to miss this opportunity.
First, there are hundreds of thousands of foreclosed homes in all these states and they all need some type of work. So now is the time to catch this wave of new home buyers at the beginning stage because this will last for over 10 years or more.
There are millions of baby boomers starting to retire and they will come with wads of cash and there checkbooks ready and willing to buy.
I hope you enjoyed this post and will pass it along to another contractor and don’t forget to hit the big orange RSS feed button.
Also leave me a comment and give me your thoughts. I value your input.
Happy Boomer!
