In 2026, the oldest Baby Boomers are\nturning 80, and even the youngest members of the Silent Generation are past\nthat mark. That matters because homeownership among older Americans generally\nholds steady into the mid-70s, begins to slip in the early 80s, and falls off\nmore steeply in the mid-to-late 80s.\n\nToday, Boomers and the Silent Generation live in an estimated 36.7 million\nhomes they own.

This generational handoff, often called the \"silver\ntsunami,\" includes homes vacated through death, a move to institutional care,\nhousehold consolidation or a move to a rental.\n\nThat's 5.9 million more than the roughly 8 million homes these generations\nreleased over the past decade, and the pace keeps picking up, from about 1.27\nmillion homes in 2027 to 1.52 million in 2036.\n\nWho's handing off is changing, too. Today's handoff is still driven largely by\nthe Silent Generation, but there are fewer of them left each year. Boomers are\nmoving in the other direction, and around 2029 they're expected to overtake\nthe Silent Generation as the biggest source of homes freed up. They're still\nclimbing in 2036, which means the real peak likely comes after this forecast\nends.\n\nThe Handoff Helps, But it Won't Eliminate the Housing Gap\n\nWhile 13.9 million sounds bigger than the nation's\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4788590-1&h=292361377&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.realtor.com%2Fresearch%2Fus-housing-supply-gap-2026%2F&a=%C2%A0)\n4 million-home shortage\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4788590-1&h=2316393627&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.realtor.com%2Fresearch%2Fus-housing-supply-gap-2026%2F&a=4+million-home+shortage)\n, the two aren't directly comparable.

With\nonly 38,000 starter homes released annually, just 3.2% of current listings,\nthe added supply is unlikely to move the needle on affordability in any\nnoticeable way. Higher retention rates for smaller homes are probably due to\nthe fact that their owners are more likely to have paid off their mortgages.\nFor example,  72.8% of starter-home owners ages 70 to 79 own free and clear,\ncompared with 65.1% of family-home owners and 58.9% of large-home owners.

The annual rate represents 24.7% of recent\nlistings. If half of those reach the market, family-home listings would rise\n12.3%. Trade-up buyers could benefit from more choice and softer prices, which\nin turn frees up starter homes for new buyers.\n\nLarge homes: These are about a quarter of the total, at 3.6 million, but they\nsee the biggest relative impact.
