The conversation also explores cash buyers, housing inventory challenges, over-55 communities, and how today's retirees are choosing comfort and lifestyle over simplicity.Then the discussion shifts overseas as Susan and Kurt examine the growing trend of luxury yacht travel in Europe. With crowded tourist destinations, rising travel demand, and premium cruise experiences from brands like Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons, wealthy travelers are finding new ways to enjoy Europe without battling the crowds.Whether you're thinking about upsizing, downsizing, retirement planning, or dreaming about your next vacation, this episode offers a fun and insightful look at how lifestyle choices are changing both real estate and travel.
