The housing market has picked up steam over the last two years in terms of both existing home sales and new housing starts and a shift in the demographics of available homebuyers should spur more growth in the next 10 to 20 years.

 

This Factoid illustrates the growing need for senior housing based on the dramatic increase in the population of seniors from 2000 to projected 2025. Over the span of 25 years, the number of persons ages 65 to 79 is projected to have increased 95 percent. Population projections show ten years from now, Age Group 75 to 79 will grow 62 percent, while Age Group 70 to 74 climbs 47 percent and people in their mid to late 60s will increase by 26 percent.
