		<description><![CDATA[The term 'Baby Boomer' gets thrown around a lot in the world of advertising.  It seems like everyone is trying to sell to this segment of the population; including the real estate industry.  Economic statistics show that baby boomers account for 28% of the population, but over 77% of all financial assets in the United States.  This generation also accounts for more than 50% of all discretionary authority in private organizations as well as in government.  But do REALTORS® and builders really know what baby boomers want in a home?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tomblefko.com&#038;blog=5527531&#038;post=1823&#038;subd=tomblefko&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
