Have you noticed a change in the housing market lately? The post-pandemic era has brought about a shift in homebuyer preferences, and builders are taking note. After years of constructing larger, more spacious homes, there's a growing demand for smaller, more affordable living spaces.
The severe housing shortage we've been facing can be traced back to the aftermath of the Great Recession. Many local builders had to shut down, and national builders focused on high-end, luxury homes to maximize profits. However, with the workforce gradually returning to offices, the need for extra space at home has diminished.
Over the past two years, more than 60% of builders have pivoted to constructing smaller homes, addressing the housing shortage by increasing the supply of reasonably-sized and budget-friendly properties. This trend could be a game-changer for those looking to enter the housing market or downsize their living spaces.
If you're considering a more compact and cost-effective home, now might be the perfect time to explore your options with local real estate professionals. The housing market is evolving, and this shift towards smaller homes could make homeownership more accessible for many.
