New Housing Trend?


Came across and article on potential new housing trends....people are starting to want a smaller home, not the "McMansions" that were so popular in the 90's and beyond.

Check it out....


The trend may be contained as this, "coming years, however, will give way to an increasingly intimate, personalized approach to home construction, with consumers viewing residential real estate as more of an instrument of self-expression."


Less to build, but more amenities than before. Think about it....do you really need a family room and a living room? The Frugals have decided to eliminate the living room with its uncomfortable and stuffy furniture and turn it into a place we can use....a library for the us to use on a daily basis.

Better yet, this will probably turn into an Ikea commercial as we are doing it all through them. Stay tuned!

Let me know what you think of the trend.....next time we will be talking about some conspiracy theories that are afoot and how you can avoid them.
