What is Important to Boomers when Selling their House?

If you are a “baby boomer” (born between 1946 and 1964), you may be thinking about selling your current home. Your children may have finally moved out.

He'd been diagnosed with it 10 years earlier but had done a great job of "holding it at bay" by staying very active.
