Your uncle's house is not worth $500k in 2026. He did not spend $500k on it in 1994. Hope this helps. https://t.co/uv2Mk2FIP5

Meaning Baby Boomer owners who fueled the housing market over the last 20 years will turn into sellers they age out.
And Gen X, the next generation in line to buy up those homes, won't be able to absorb it. As they are 20% smaller in population than the Baby Boomers.
The result is that by 2037, there will be more 75+ aged Americans than 55-64 aged Americans. Which will be a first in modern U.S. History.
This will lead to lower homebuyer demand, more supply, and lower prices in retirement destinations.
Especially across Florida and Arizona.

In the short-term, Trump's new Federal Reserve Chairman, Kevin Warsh is hinting that he may raise interest rates in the coming months to battle inflation.Trump will absolutely throw a huge temper tantrum and fly off the rails if/ when he does.
Once again, Donald Trump is raising Hell about a problem he created. (Higher inflation due to his Iran War.)
Call it a tax, the people are outraged! Call it a tariff, the people get out their checkbooks and wave their American flags!!!
