For the next 20 years, some of the weightiest issues for home builders will be figuring out where baby boomers really want to move, when and if they sell their homes, and what type of housing will they desire, be it city-center high-rise condo, beach house, or something in a golf course development.<\/p>\n

With more than 70 million boomers heading toward retirement — the oldest of them turn 60 this year — these questions were prominent at the National Association of Home Builders’ annual conference, which wrapped up on Jan. 14.<\/p>\n
