Definition of Pending. A home that is set to close and all contingencies have been waived. This is when the lender, the escrow agent or attorney will process the loan and title documents to make sure the deal will close on time. Sometimes, the sellers may still accept backup offers on pending listings, but it's best to contact to your agent to find out if it's possible to submit this type of offer.
The majority of all age groups expect to retire at age 65 or older. This includes 62% of 18- to 29-year-olds, 62% of 30- to 49-year-olds, and 58% of 50- to 64-year-olds. At the same time, an optimistic 15% of the youngest age group expect to retire before age 60. Adults closer to that age are naturally less likely to think they will be ready for retirement by that point.
If you look beyond the average, slightly more Americans are interested in retiring after age 65 than before it. Over a third (37 percent) of workers are planning to retire at age 66 or older, up from 14 percent in 1995, the Gallup poll of 652 working adults and 363 retirees found. Another third (32 percent) of Americans say they are aiming to retire before age 65, down significantly from 49 percent in 1995. About a quarter (24 percent) of workers are hoping to retire at exactly age 65, a proportion that has remained consistent for the past decade.
