WHY NOT???  This will probably be one of the best years to buy, with the lowest interest rates in the last decade and the lowest prices since 2003.

Baby Boomers did what everyone else was doing in a strong housing market and moved up into bigger houses. As they look forward to retirement, they find themselves realizing that they don't need or want that large house any longer. So now what is the problem? Who do they sell to? The younger gener...
