TKI’S QUARTERLY nSKOPE PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS REPORT SHOWS OLDER AMERICANS MAY HAVE MAJOR IMPACT ON U.S. HOUSING MARKET OVER NEXT 12 MONTHS
Philadelphia, Pa. (January 11, 2023) –TKI, a software development company with more than 20 years of real estate experience, today unveiled its quarterly nSkope Predictive Analytics Report that shows that “Empty Nesters” and retirees may have a significant impact on the U.S. real estate market over the next 12 months.
The report, which predicts a total of 5.7 million homes that have a higher probability to come on the market over the next 12 months, found that older Americans may make up a sizeable portion of those who list their homes:
- Empty nesters, homeowners between 45-64 with no children at home, are expected to make up 10.2% of all listings.
- Adult singles (35-64) will likely add 8.7%.
- Retirees (those 65-and-older) are expected to be 7.5% of the selling community.
- Older families, those with at least one child 18-24 living at home, may account for 6.3% of all listings.
“With a projected slowdown in 2023 sales, it is critically important to understand the lifestyle triggers that will impact listings,” said Tom Gamble, co-founder and CEO of TKI. “Older families and Americans should not be forgotten. They make up a sizeable pool of potential sellers and should be marketed to. Obviously, growing families will always be sales drivers, but the report shows that a sizeable percentage of potential sellers are not in this group. They are likely not looking to move up or be in better school districts. This is especially true in numerous Florida and Arizona markets, along with places like Myrtle Beach and Santa Rosa where the older age groups are over-indexing.”
Looking back at December 2021-December 2022, seven of the top 10 highest percentage of correctly predicted listings for retirees were in Florida. The Villages led the retiree conversion list at a 35.5% clip. Florida also had five of the top 10 on the list of properly predicted “Empty Nester” sellers.”

Gamble pointed out the most recent National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers shared that 8% of all sellers from June 2021 to June 2022 moved for retirement reasons. AARP also reports 10,000 Americans are turning 65 each day.
While the nSkope Predictive Analytics Report shines a light on the older demographics, families with school-aged children are expected to continue to lead the sales funnel in the next 12 months with 23.5% of all listings. Those with at least one child 18-24 living at home and young families with children ages 6-and-under are projected to add another 15.8% and 6.4%, respectively, of all listings over that same period. But those without children living at home combine for nearly 32% of projected listings.

nSkope, which reviewed homes in more than 16,000 U.S. ZIP codes, utilized proprietary algorithms enhanced by artificial intelligence to analyze over 300 data points and identify patterns and correlations, correctly predicted 8.1% of all its predicted listings from December 2021-December 2022.
Decatur, Ill., was the most successfully predicted market. nSkope projected 2,024 Decatur homes last December that would come on the market over a 12-month period. Of those, 22.9% (463) did so.

“Decatur is a great example of how predictive analytics can be effective,” Gamble said. “We reviewed the ZIP codes in the market and reduced the size of potential listings down to a very manageable number. A brokerage or large team that focused almost exclusively on this pool of prospective clients would have likely been much more successful than those who tried to be in front of all 102,000 households. Remember, the likelihood is that the majority of these potential listers are already known by an agent. They just haven’t been marketed to.
“In an age where an extraordinary lead-to-capture rate is less than two percent, the evolution of predictive analytics, which are available at ZIP code levels, can be a difference maker in an industry with already tight margins,” Gamble continued. “Most brokerages and large teams spend significant time, energy and dollars to attract sellers. But they do so blindly. Predictive analytics allows them to focus on potential clients with the highest probability of listing their home in the foreseeable future. We therefore allow marketing initiatives to be dramatically more effective and cost efficient. As competition for listings becomes exceptionally fierce, being in front of this group as early as possible should pay dividends.”
