Stephanie Grisham — a former Trump press secretary who has since become a sharp Trump critic — said using fear has always appealed to the former president, in part because it riles up and motivates his far-right base. But she said the appeal is starting to becoming wearying.�“You can only be hit over the head so much and be told your own country sucks so much before you get fatigued by it,” Grisham said. “I think people yearn for a message of hope. Now that I’ve taken a step back and watch it more as a citizen, it’s just sad and depressing to watch.”

Which generation is buying the most homes? ⁣
⁣
This year, the trophy goes to Baby Boomers.🏆 ⁣
⁣
According to the U.S.-based National Association of Realtors, in 2022, Boomers overtook Millennials as the largest generation of homebuyers. They also continued to make up the largest segment of home sellers. ⁣
⁣
While the desire to own a home remains high for all generations, the advantage has shifted to Boomers, many of whom are repeat buyers who can use their existing equity to purchase a new home. ⁣
⁣
Are you a Boomer who’s ready to make a move? We’d love to help! Reach out for a free consultation! ⁣
