My dentist weighs in on boomer real estate psychology

    I had my first appointment with my new dentist this morning.  Since we had never met, he drilled me, pardon the pun, with questions about what I do.  I told him I help folks, mostly baby boomer golfers, to find their dream vacation or retirement home on a golf course.  He owns a second home on Johns Island, near Charleston, but not on a golf course, although he plays on occasion.
    I asked about his plans for retirement.  He said in a few years, he and his wife would probably move to South Carolina, if he could sell his house in Connecticut.  This, of course, led me to my common refrain, of which my dedicated readers are probably tired, that people are foolish to hold out for the price they think their house is worth, rather than take what the market will give them and move south, if that is what they were planning.
    "They want what they want," I said of my fellow boomers.
    To which my wise new dentist responded, "Well, we are baby boomers, aren't we?"
