Recently I was working with buyers on a budget and they wanted to find a four bedroom house
in a price range where all the houses are below 2000 square foot. We looked at a few homes and they then realized that the room size was more important than the actual number of bedrooms. By spending time looking at properties they realized that more rooms in the same space means smaller rooms.
Lot sizes for new construction homes also tend to be smaller than in the past. If you are fitting a 2400 ft home with a two car garage on a 125 x 50 foot lot ,with all the set backs and rules regarding the distance between the homes on the sides you are going to find that the yard space is limited.
In this scenario we had a family with a dog looking for yard space. We were able to switch the house design from a single level to a two level home and presto the size of the rear yard almost doubled to 50 feet rather than 25. Leaving the family with space for their dog to play and plenty of space for a pool down the road.
When you are looking for a home take some time to talk with your agent regarding what is important for you and your family. Even in these zero lot line days there are ways to find more livable space for your families.
