A larger stock of smaller homes could mean more budget-friendly options for buyers.
As home sizes shrink, hallways are on the chopping block.That's according to a new report out this month from John Burns Research and Consulting, which looks at how the architecture of new housing stock in the U.S. is expected to shift in the coming years. Mikaela Arroyo, one of the researchers, said that based on the types of homes architects said they are designing, consumers can expect homes to continue to get smaller and their layouts more compact.
'Essentially, we're Tetris-ing the functional rooms together, avoiding wasted square footage on non-functional areas like hallways,' the report said.Other tactics Arroyo has noticed designers employing to save on space include eliminating a formal dining room, adding storage in unused spaces , three-story homes with the living space on the second floor, and tandem garages.
