Survey Reveals What Boomers, Gen X’s Want in Housing

A recent survey by Del Webb of men and women aged 50 and 60 finds that younger baby boomers and older Generation X are not planning to downsize with their next move.

According to the survey, of the 57% of respondents who say they plan to move in the future, 65% prefer their next home to be either the same size (43%) or larger (22%) than their current home. The expectation of needing more space in their next home can also be seen in the clear majority (71%) of respondents planning to move who prefer a single-family home and those indicating they want three or more bedrooms (63%).
