ECHO BOOMER

Echo Boomer?  No that is not a terminology used for a sound you hear across a canyon, however the impact may be similar…..Amazing!

While the recent economic downturn has slowed household growth, the massive size of the Echo Boom Generation is expected to give a powerful boost to housing demand.  Echo Boomers represent a significant portion of first-time home buyers and will play an important role in absorbing inventory. 

Echo Boomers are wise beyond their years.  A study found that they defy conventional wisdom when it comes to assumptions associated with young people.  According the to the survey, these consumers demonstrate a mature approach to spending.

  • Almost half of the Echo Boomers describe themselves as savers.
  • More than 70% are concerned about having enough money for retirement, a degree of concern almost equal to that of Baby Boomers.
  • Echo Boomers stated that spouses (70%), children (63%) and parents (48%) had the most influence on their spending.
