As a real estate agent here in Las Vegas, I’m seeing an exciting shift: Baby Boomers in Real Estate are leading the way. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), Baby Boomers have surpassed Millennials as the biggest group of homebuyers and sellers.
If you’re wondering why, here’s a breakdown — plus real feedback I hear from my amazing clients every day.
One major reason Baby Boomers in Real Estate are dominating right now is equity. Many of my clients have owned their homes for 20+ years. I hear things like: “I bought this home for $180,000, and now it’s worth over $500,000!”
This equity gives Boomers the power to downsize smartly, buy with cash, and avoid stressful bidding wars.

Almost every day, clients tell me: “I want less space but better lifestyle.”
Baby Boomers in Real Estate aren’t just looking for smaller homes — they’re looking for community, amenities, and lifestyle upgrades. That’s why neighborhoods like Sun City Summerlin are in such high demand.
Golf courses, social clubs, low-maintenance yards — it’s a downsizer’s dream.
Another huge motivator I hear: “We’re moving to be near our kids and grandkids.”
Las Vegas is a magnet for families right now. Affordable living, great healthcare, no state income tax — it’s no wonder Baby Boomers are making the move.
Suburbs like Sky Summit, Skye Canyon, and Summerlin are booming because they offer exactly what my Boomer clients want:
They often tell me: “I don’t want to be isolated — I want community.”
Because they’re using built-up equity or selling homes in high-value markets like California, many Baby Boomers can buy in cash.
Sellers prefer cash buyers because it removes financing uncertainty. That gives Boomers a strong advantage, especially in competitive markets.
Developers today are building with Boomers in mind. Communities are focused on:
Clients often tell me: “I love that I can stay busy without leaving the neighborhood!”
Forget the rocking chair! Today’s retirees are hiking, traveling, learning new hobbies, and volunteering. Baby Boomers in Real Estate want an active, fulfilling lifestyle — and they’re finding it in communities across Las Vegas.
Here’s a snapshot of real conversations I have almost daily:
There’s no doubt — Boomers are driving much of the new construction, resale activity, and community planning in Las Vegas right now.
