I wouldn't put it past the baby boomers to figure out a way to reach immortality, just so they can prevent this from happening.

  They'll just vote to remove estate taxes so that their children and children's children will inherit their homes without the place ever touching anything close to the market. It's cool and internationally minded, like the seigneurial system in early French Canada but now.

    What? That goes against all Boomer logic. They'd vote to reclassify their house as a crypt to permanently take it off the market, die surrounded by their possessions and ensure their children and children's children inherit nothing.

    I think it's more likely they'll be re-mortgaged while still occupied via 'equity release', or sold outright to pay for elder care. Either way, I'd expect relatively little to end up being passed on via inheritance.
