How a Vast Demographic Shift Will Reshape the World

Maybe the Biggest Real Estate Story of All Time

NY Times did a deep dive data reporting piece this summer, “How a Vast Demographic Shift Will Reshape the World.” It’s a fascinating look at how populations will age across the globe over time. As perhaps nothing impacts real estate more than age itself, this is one of those mind-blowing stories that will have you thinking about what this means for households in the future. 

Excerpt:

“The projections are reliable, and stark: By 2050, people age 65 and older will make up nearly 40 percent of the population in some parts of East Asia and Europe. That’s almost twice the share of older adults in Florida, America’s retirement capital. Extraordinary numbers of retirees will be dependent on a shrinking number of working-age people to support them.” 

I saw this story on 1000watt.net and thought I would share it

"Not All Realtors Are The Same"! This website and content are for you and are designed and constantly upgraded with the latest real estate trends, how-to’s and what is for sale on MLS. All the so-called Gurus of marketing and branding say a Realtor and their Brokerage should have a bio to let people know about them. I have always felt bios were boasting, bragging, or trying to impress readers; I’ve always felt that our actions and results should impress and not be all talk and no action! As they say in Texas:” All hat and no cattle”! So here goes: We are a small brokerage by choice. Our primary focus is guiding home buyers and sellers to make good decisions. We believe selling real estate is a process, not an event or knee-jerk reaction; we sleep well at night and ensure our clients do as well! We are not for everybody, nor can we please everybody, nor do we tell people what they want to hear; I know that may be old-fashioned and boring but we are dealing with hundreds of your hard-earned money. Would you rather be happy, excited and bored or unhappy, excited and make a poor choice? About Ty Founder & Owner, & Broker of Record of Sutton Group Envelope Real Estate Inc., That's all I can say about me! You see, this is about you, not me; you do not want to hear blah blah stuff about awards, designations, or that we walk older adults across the street (I used to help old ladies cross the street, but as I got older I did not want my wife to think I was flirting) the reincarnation of Mother Teresa, walk on water or anything else to impress you. We let the numbers speak for themselves; success leaves clues!
