It really depends on each retiring boomers retirement 'strategy'.
My olds have 3 inv props with little debt owed on them (debt will be gone when they retire in 7 years)
Upon which time they have no plans to sell them (because they dont want to pay the cap gains tax), but rather live off the rent which provides a continuous flow of inflation adjusted earnings @ approx $1100 per week after prop agency commission currently.
Then you have that supplemented by superannuation, leaving a comfortable retirement.
So IMO not all baby boomers are all in the same 'boat' in terms of having to sell rental props as a means to fund retirement.
Rental income is a great 'income stream' as a hedge against inflation as the prop owners decides how much to charge in view of what the rest of the market is charging etc.
I'm guessing a lot of boomer's retiring or soon to retire who don't have much super (self-employed people mainly im guessing)will need to sell as they may not have enough investment props to make the rental income stream enough to live off.
