Frequently Asked Questions:


Answers:

 

What is an Empty Nester?

What do we mean when we refer to certain buyers as "Empty Nesters?"


YourDictionary.com refers to an Empty Nester very simply as "A parent whose children have grown and left home." Wikipedia provides an excellent summary of Empty Nest Syndrome.


None of us like to admit that we might be eligible for certain discounts, but for our purposes, when we refer to Empty Nesters, we simply mean individuals over the age of 55.

Do you consider yourself an Empty Nester, Baby Boomer, Senior or Downsizer? You're in good company. A full 73,000 Idahoans living in Ada and Canyon County are over the age of 55.  Like many, you may have discovered that your housing and real estate preferences have changed.
