Do you have boomer parents? I do, and they definitely need to downsize because they're getting too old to be able to keep up with the yardwork and other maintenance. An empty-nester couple just doesn't need a 3000+ square foot house. And they know it, too! They want to downsize. The only reason they haven't yet is that they can't decide where to move to.
