For Baby Boomers who are looking to downsize, the housing market could prove to be even more challenging as many homes do not meet the criteria of aging in place. According to online real estate marketplace OpenDoor, the Baby Boomer generation owns about 32 million homes in the U.S., but less than 40% of homes have basic features for aging, such as step-free entryways and bedrooms on the first floor, among other features.
