Hall: Right, yeah. And, a lot of these areas, there's actually an interesting thing. One of the companies we're going to talk about, Meritage Homes (NYSE:MTH), on their latest earnings call and in their latest release, it's not just first-time buyers, it's not just millennials. That's a huge secular trend, millennials moving into the home-buying market. It's the largest segment of the population. They're going to be driving housing sales for the next 20 years, potentially. But Meritage Homes also said that they're seeing a lot of demand in their entry-level communities from retiring baby boomers who are downsizing. So, it's creating dual demand from two opposite ends of the age demographic.
