Dublin Ranch Condos and Homes are the Future

Be The First To Comment

Dublin Ranch Condos and homes are on the cutting edge when it comes to value and style. Gopal Ahluwalia, VP of the National Association of Home Builder’s stated that the decades long explosion in residential square footage may be coming to an end. In 1973 the average size of a home was 1,500 sf. Compared to 2,495 in 2006. Home buyers are beginning to choose higher quality of living spaces over additional square footage. Architects, designers, manufacturers, and marketing experts who were asked by NAHB about their expectations for future homes agreed that home size would slip into the 2,300- to 2,500-square-foot range by 2015. font>End of the Living Room?? 

Last year 40 percent of newly constructed homes did not have a living room, and 55 percent of the architects, designers, and builders surveyed expect living rooms to vanish from the average home in the next 10 years. 31 percent say it will evolve into a parlor/retreat/library or media room. Most likely to capture more square footage is the family room while the kitchen is expected to become even larger too.  Two Master Bedrooms??

On the rise is the dual master suite. 63 percent of upscale homes and 13 percent mid-level homes are expected to have two master suites by next decade. This configuration is not only for overnight guests, but gives the option of the master bedroom being on the first or second floor to accommodate aging homeowners. 

Where is the Demand?? 

Smaller homes won’t translate into less value though. Commute, neighborhood amenities, safety, schools and the community are big reasons why many people are looking to Dublin Ranch for these options. While you may have a few more stairs in the home, the neighborhood and shorter commute mixed with well though out amenities make Dublin Ranch the perfect place for a family that wants to capitalize on a home with 100 percent function.
