In Montreal, Boomers are selling their homes
:: the most-spoiled and obnoxious generation is finally making room for the next!

Just as Canadian Business was highlighting how the baby-boomers slow exiting of the job market will create some exciting new job opportunities for the years to come, La Presse in Montreal was discussing how their sudden wave of homes sales will re-stabilize the Montreal real estate market. By putting their empty nests up for sale, they are creating a supply of cottages and family dwellings while soaking up the tremendous condo boom in Montreal.

All this means that as these demanding office dinos finally make their exit from the modern workplace, they will also help us by leaving their nice houses in affluent areas and perhaps buy our over-valued condos in the downtown core! Great, I guess we owe them one more!
