Comment on 4 Demographic Trends to Watch in the New Decade by TFR500

Interesting blog. Yes, the “younger baby boomers” are a crucial segment to grasp in understanding housing trends. Fortunately, we are learning more and more about them now that they have a name (Generation Jones) and identity which is receiving so much national atttention. Google “Generation Jones”, and you’ll see it’s gotten a ton of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) now specifically use this term. In fact, the Associated Press’ annual Trend Report chose the Rise of Generation Jones as the #1 trend of 2009. Here’s a page with a good overview of recent media interest in GenJones: http://generationjones.com/2009latest.html

It is important to distinguish between the post-WWII demographic boom in births vs. the cultural generations born during that era. Generations are a function of the common formative experiences of its members, not the fertility rates of its parents. Many experts now believe it breaks down more or less this way:

DEMOGRAPHIC boom in babies: 1946-1964

Baby Boom GENERATION: 1942-1953

Generation Jones: 1954-1965

Generation X: 1966-1978

Sophisticated players in the housing industry will make serious bucks by learning about the key differences in consumer and real estate purchasing behavior among Jonesers which differs from its surrounding generations.

Living right on a park is romantic but not without issues I’m sure.

Love the finishes of this house! great layout and perfect for a family! The one thing I didn’t like was how there was no divider between the home and the park. Too close for comfort for me. Thee’s bound to be some creey stuff going on.
