So, you have been thinking about buying a home.  You have looked on line and probably stopped by new construction-most home buyers have.

Have you noticed any changes?  What is on your must have list?

Well, according to the NAHB, National Association of Home Builders, the average size of new construction homes have decreased for the first time since 1982.

The Wall Street Journal www.wsj.com has just published an article that addresses these very same issues.  Check out the link: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704509704575019462787197650.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_sections_realestate

It seems that the leaner and meaner buyer of today is interested in a slightly smaller home that offers more energy efficiency as well as Nine foot ceiling on the first floor and a nice walk in closet in the master bedroom.

Of course, the builders, may also be downsizing to save on cost.  I have notices that some of the builders in the Delaware Real Estate Market have stopped using the fancy crown moldings and even wood trim around the windows.
