In the 1980s many baby boomers didn't save money. Instead, they bought expensive items, such as luxury cars, and took extravagant long-distance vacations. But for the last decade, because of consumer satiation and the responsibilities of raising a family, these couples are starting to play it more carefully. They're investing--rather than just spending--their income. And one logical step, is to invest in Downtown Minneapolis condos.

Households that are headed by someone who's between the ages of 45 and 54 own the largest share of vacation homes (households that are headed by someone between the ages of 55 and 64 years of age own the second-largest share). This suggests that the baby-boom generation is just entering the prime years for Downtown Minneapolis condo ownership.

Nationwide, 22.8 million households that don't own recreational property say that there's some likelihood they'll purchase property, such as Downtown Minneapolis condos within the next 10 years, and 13.5 million of those households indicate that there's "a 50-50 chance or better" that they'll buy recreational property.

The recession in 1973 and 1974 was a harbinger of the upsurge in the primary house market during the late 1970s. That was the result of baby boomers going from one life stage to another, buying their first home. The recession of 1982 and 1983 preceded the surge in demand for upscale housing in the late 1980s, as baby boomers traded up.

When the boom hits, market within 25 miles or so of a major urban area such as Downtown Minneapolis are likely to be the biggest beneficiaries. Middle-aged baby boomers with children aren't interested in long trips anymore.

Many of the baby boomers are buying Downtown Minneapolis condos in anticipation of retirement. Some of them are financing their second homes by borrowing against or cashing in securities and taking out  mortgages. Such buyers plan to sell their principal homes someday and use the proceeds to pay off the mortgages on their country homes--thus retiring without debt. This type of money management is likely to have a large appeal in these uncertain economic times.

Now is definitely the time to buy. So, you can still beat the crowds into the Downtown Minneapolis condos market; money is cheap and inventory is available and prices are reasonable.
