English term or phrase: empty nesters

Definition from springhillfloridarealestateonline.com:
Potential buyers who have raised their families and want to move into a smaller home.

Example sentence(s):

Travel marketers who consider online buying to be an activity limited to younger early adopters would be wise to expand their targeting to include affluent empty nesters. iMedia Communications, Inc.
In many instances empty nesters are no longer content to remain in the same home from marriage to retirement, and our brokers are seeing this impact in their local markets. Realogy
In the shorter term, and considering the current house sales market, empty-nesters may still be able to move without losing out financially by simply letting out their larger homes either privately or through a social housing provider, thereby creating an income to enable them to rent a more manageable, purpose-built, energy-efficient retirement property. propertyweek.com

par med utflugna barn

Definition from EZRealestate:
Föräldrar vars barn "blivit flygfärdiga" och lämnat "boet" tomt. Översättningen gjord enligt den engelska definition som Google hittade åt mig: Middle-aged or older couples whose children have grown up and "left the nest" to live on their own.

Example sentence(s):

Segmentet kännetecknas av att de är vitala och friska och oftast är äldre par med utflugna barn. - Visit Sweden

Explanation:
Vilken åldersgrupp dessa par tillhör behöver inte anges, tycker jag. "Middle-aged or older" är man säkert om barnen blivit flygfärdiga.

familj med utflugna barn

Definition from own experience or research:
En familj med barn som vuxit upp och flyttat hemifrån - barnen har bildligt talat flugit ur boet som nu börjar kännas för stort.

Example sentence(s):

Utflugna barn ingen garanti för drömboende - Dina Pengar.se
När barnen flugit ut är ofta bostaden för stor. Föräldrarna flyttar och lägger tid på sådant dom inte hann med under barnens uppväxt. - NaturfotoForum
Livets olika skeden innebär olika familjer. Barndomens uppväxtfamilj avlöses av ungdomens flytt från föräldrahemmet till eget boende och egen familjebildning. Det ”tomma boet” med utflugna barn övergår i ålderdomens ensamboende och kanske en sista tid på institution. - Statistiska Centralbyrån - Barn och fam
