So whilst the sell side has some pressure, the buy side arguably has more pressure."

The discussion was whether BBs selling their properties was going to cause excess sell side pressure.

So again, why where you combining all generations to compare with the kids?
Actually don't try and answer that.

Let's get back to the discussion.

As yet, IMO, no one has put forward a solid reason as to why baby boomers retiring is going to cause a decrease in prices due to supply over taking demand. I'm sure there is a good argument out there though... anyone?

No i will answer that one.

Its simple..you combine all the other generations to create buy side pressure that out weighs sellside pressure over the next 20yrs. Which as i state is flawed. Becuase when the boomers retire or sell there selling pressure (since they own a significant proportion of dwellings) could/would add to the existing selling (non boomer) stock and possibly create stronger sell side pressure.

FyI i never strayed from the discussion.
