The list of buyers would have been far different, however.

About 50 percent of buyers live in town part time.

In 1989, only 20 percent of buyers were under 60.

About 55 percent of buyers are expected to be men.

About a third of the buyers hold city or other public service jobs.

For one of the buyers, the reason could not have been financial.

But the weight does not matter to a lot of its buyers.

Wall Street was to have been a major source of buyers.

The majority of private buyers still want to live in the places they buy.

In the 1983 study, only 8 percent of the buyers said safety was most important.
