It is a question that has entered almost everyone's mind at some point. If asked this question in the 1970's what homes in the year 2015 would look like, well, you would get an episode of the Jetsons. However, what we do see are some trends that are increasingly more popular in builders. One thing that we expect to see are smaller home sizes. In today's market, the average home is around 2400 Sq Ft. The homes of the future will be 2100 Sq Ft or less. This allows the builder more creative freedom when designing spaces. Homes will be smaller but flow better and have more amenities. So what won't you see in 2015? The Living Room will be obsolete because many builders agree that it is a wasted space. Also, 5 bedroom homes will be harder to find.
