WHY ARE SOME BUILDERS BOOMING?

   Now this is an interesting topic.....There is a definite pattern here that divides the "status quo" general contractors and the more progressive thinking builders. Staying ahead of the curve in this economy often is the difference between being "in" business, or, being "out" of business.
   I've observed over the last 2 years that the popularity of homes w/ 1400-1800 s.f. have sold much faster than those w/ greater  s.f.  -   SIMPLE! Now, here's the defining difference between the builders  producing the smaller homes. The 1st, builds a rectangle from some plan that's been around since the 70s.........this is called "shelter"   The 2nd builder, understands the value of design. And builds homes that are quite livable. Understanding that the amount of material is the same for both homes, it's how it's applied that makes the difference. So, at the end of the day we see the "shelter" bldr. paying interest payments to the bank while he waits for a sale While the more progressive thinking bldr. is logging up "pre-solds"
