But what happens when that equity doesn't deliver the financial security retirees expect? In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down new research showing that older homeowners may be selling their homes for less than younger sellers, often due to deferred maintenance, outdated properties, and the growing appeal of quick cash offers. With Americans over 70 now holding trillions in housing wealth, this emerging trend could create both financial challenges for retirees and new opportunities for real estate investors. Kathy explores what's driving the discount, why today's buyers are more selective, and how this demographic shift could reshape the housing market in the years ahead.
