Smaller homes are actually a smart move for buyers right now, and here's why.
Newly built homes have been shrinking since 2014, and builders are doing it on purpose. They build what sells, and right now, buyers want more affordable, right-sized homes. That trend is working in your favor.
A smaller footprint can mean:
β Lower price point and more breathing room in your budget
β Brand new construction with modern finishes and move-in ready condition
β Communities designed with amenities that pick up where the floor plan leaves off, pools, trails, gyms, co-working spaces
And if new construction isn't in your area, condos are worth a serious look. The median condo price is lower than single-family homes in every region of the country right now.
Less square footage doesn't have to feel like a compromise. For a lot of buyers, it's actually the move that gets them into a home they love sooner.
