LARGE OR SMALL?

Although many mass builders are saying “smaller is smarter”, this is not always true. Many of today’s builders are producing smaller homes, under 1,600 square feet, most with two bedrooms. Their reason for building smaller is certainly affordability; • the lower the price, the bigger the market. Also, many of today’s buyers are singles or one-parent families who require less living space.

All things being equal, if you are a family with children, you probably wouldn’t buy a two-bedroom house just because it was small. Not if a three or four bedroom house were available in your price range. Considering the future re-sale market, a three or four bedroom house is still more desirable and would appeal to more buyers.

Bigger houses are still IN. The average person moves every seven or eight years, more people are working at home, needing extra space and local zoning boards are becoming more liberal in allowing the conversion of larger homes into multiple units.
