2 in 5 Americans feel like they're stuck living where they are
Soaring housing prices are causing Americans to rethink their “dream home” and “dream workspace,” where luxury is out and practicality is in.
“Rising costs are causing people to really rethink what’s actually important to them,” said Tanner Dieterich, head of owner and contractor relations at Built. “If you look back just a few years, people wanted pools and home theaters.” Americans also want simple, practical features and amenities like central air conditioning and heating , easy-to-access laundry appliances , a yard or green space and nearby local amenities .The ideal “dream home” is an average of 2,402 square feet, with 69% of respondents preferring a single-family dwelling over a multi-family building, condo, or townhouse.
With so many dream list items to cross off, it’s not surprising that Americans are yearning for greener pastures. The study found that currently, more than one in five would give where they live an “A” and 18% would give their place of work a “B”.Whether it’s at home or in an office, a “dream workspace” has ample natural sunlight , space and parking .“Almost 50% of people aspire to homeownership — yet, affordability and available housing remain the primary obstacles,” Dieterich explained.
