REDSTATE (Ward Clark) - Silver Tsunami Might Unleash 14M Homes, but Starters May Be Out of Luck

Supply and demand applies, as it does in all things, to real estate. If there is an increase in the supply of homes, all else being equal, there will be a concomitant decrease in price. That's Economics 101 right there. What's interesting about that, with respect to real estate, is that two generations who, right now, own a lot of houses, are the Silent Generation, and the Baby Boomers. The Silent Generation are those people who were around for World War II but too young to have served (born 1928-1945) while the Boomers, including this writer, are the 1946-1964 crowd.

Why might first-time homebuyers be out of luck despite the projected increase of 14 million homes from the Silver Tsunami?
While an increase in supply typically leads to a decrease in price, the article suggests that first-time starters may still be out of luck, implying that the basic laws of supply and demand may be complicated by other factors in the current real estate environment.

According to Economics 101, what is the expected effect on real estate prices if there is an increase in the supply of homes?
Based on the principles of supply and demand, if there is an increase in the supply of homes while all other factors remain equal, there should be a concomitant decrease in real estate prices.

Which two generations are primarily responsible for owning a large amount of houses that may enter the market during the Silver Tsunami?
