What will the home of the future look like? The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) took a took an educated guess at its recently-concluded annual convention.
Changes will come much faster over the next decade than they have in the past, due to the pace of technoloical advances. Overall, homes will be "greener" than today and there will be increasing emphasis on access for persons of limited physical ability (a trend that has already started as the baby-boomer generation greys).
The average square footage is likely to be in the same 2,400 sf. range that is found in today's new homes. The family room will replace the living room (which will either vanish or become a library, "retreat," or parlor). Ceilings throughout the first floor will be 9-feet high, with the second floor being 8-9 feet. More homebuyers will opt for three-car garages and for larger doors that admit SUVs.(So much for green!)
