In a recent Trulia article, Chief Economist Jed Kolko wrote about an interesting housing trend. You might think that Baby Boomers tend to downsize and buy a nice, smaller home in the suburbs. You might also think the average Millenial is purchasing a sleek, modern space downtown. You’d be wrong on both counts. Current population estimates released by the US Census this month would point to the opposite. Boomers are living large in urban areas and Millenials are choosing the ‘burbs.

Baby Boomers (50-69 year olds) are still living in suburbs, but that number is only slightly higher than the amount of Boomers living in urban areas, which has begun to grow significantly in recent years. Millenials (20-34 year olds) however are tending to purchase homes in…

Using the Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors calculations for available inventory, there was a solid three months’ supply of inventory at the beginning of June. This includes all active statuses; Active and Available plus Active/Pending (or in contract / in escrow). We like to look at only Active and Available, which are properties available to purchase and make an offer on.

If we break down the Months of Inventory by price range, and only look at the homes that are Active and Available as of June 29th, we will see low levels of inventory, especially in the under $300,000 price range. For homes priced $10,000-$300,000 there are 31 DAYS of inventory, increasing this variable to almost exactly one month. For homes in the range of $301,000-$600,000,…
