 Dear WMBA Members: It has been less than two months since the Board Installation Breakfast on June 7, 2018. I am pleased to say we are already positioning our Association for a powerful year to contribute meaningful events, educational opportunities, networking, and a sense of community. Join a committee, become an active participant, follow our website, join our LinkedIn group, and attend the events and activities. Review the progress of regulations and legal changes through our Legislative Committee, and join our Single Family Residential Committee to share information and ideas regarding market trends, new technology, general questions and concerns. Check out the Educational Committee, they will be highlighting a Fannie Mae Go to Meeting for the Top 15 most common guidelines in need of clarification, and the top 10 servicing concerns. Get ready to “enlist” in Boot Camp this year, for a day and a half of training and discussions. Mark your calendar for the State Golf Outing on September 12th at the Brute Course at the Grand Geneva Resort. The Milwaukee Chapter Zoo A la Carte event on August 17th, is an absolute steal with parking, zoo admission, food tickets, and beverages for a reasonable price. Start thinking about the people you work with directly or indirectly who are outstanding in their field of expertise. Nominate them for Best in Business, it is an honor to be nominated, and go through the nomination process for a wonderful evening with your peers for the award presentation on October 25th. Keep the Association in the loop of your community and charitable activities so we can showcase them on through our Communication and Public Relations Committee posting pictures and comments on the website and at LinkedIn. The best opportunities are referring a new member to the Membership Committee, and have one of our Membership Ambassadors make sure they are in the loop. Stay active, Make Your Mark. “The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do”.

The Coming Exodus of Older Homeowners
July 17, 2018
The Baby Boom generation (1946-1964) has an enormous housing market footprint, inhabiting 32 million owner-occupied homes and accounting for two out of five homeowners in the United States with an estimated value of $13.5 trillion. And when they decide to divest, said Fannie Mae, Washington, D.C., the impact could spur fears of a "bursting generational housing bubble."
In a report, The Coming Exodus of Older Homeowners, the Fannie Mae Economic and Strategic Research Group said departures of these older adults from the homeownership market--for rentals, senior care facilities or by reason of death--will accelerate as the large Baby Boom generation continues to age.
"With the oldest Boomers now advancing into their 70s, the beginning of a mass exodus looms on the horizon, spurring fears of a bursting ‘generational housing bubble' in which homeownership demand from younger generations is insufficient to fill the void left by multitudes of departing older owners," wrote authors Dowell Myers, professor at the University of Southern California; and Patrick Simmons, Fannie Mae Director of Strategic Planning. Further, the authors warned a "fumbled" intergenerational handoff "would reverberate through the housing market and economy."
Having said, that, the authors note Baby Boomers have not yet begun to depart homeownership in substantial numbers; in fact, the number has increased over the past several years, according to Census data, "indicating no diminishment in the intensity of Boomer homeownership demand."
