I’ve wondered when the nations home builders would start to react to the trends we are seeing in households. The Census Report showed that now one third of households are doubling up. That’s up 25% from 2007 as college grads move back home to live with mom and dad and grandma or grandpa move in as well. That means new floors plans and greater flexibility with some rooms with be required.
The Wall Street Journal ran a story about some of the changes home builders are making to homes in 2012. This will make for some exciting new floor plans. While they test these plans in Arizona, it’s uncertain when they will, or if they will, make their way to the Twin Cities new construction market.
