In 2025, as the senior housing market expands from $1.89 billion in 2024 to $2.06 billion, driven by baby boomers reaching retirement age and a projected $100 billion growth in senior living by 2027, relocations for older adults are increasingly common—yet challenging, with 235,000 Americans moving for retirement in 2022 alone and 87% citing inflation as a major threat.
