For sale. Any buyers?

I found a great article this morning by Karen Maley on the Business Spectator website, which talks about how the ageing population will affect house, stock and bond prices. Essentially, the group of asset buyers (GenX, Gen Y, etc) is shrinking while the group of asset sellers (baby boomers, retirees, etc) is growing – you don’t have to be a trained economist to know that increasing supply and falling demand equals lower prices.

I dont blog about financial stuff as a rule as there are plenty of people out there doing it and hey, my specialty is retirement housing, not finances! I will post interesting stuff when I find it though.

What do you think? Will the ageing population lead to lower asset prices or will immigration keep us in perpetual growth?
