  6. Changing Household Types • What does that mean? • Product configuration changes • Less need for 3rd or 4th bedrooms • Creative living spaces • More architecture, less “sameness” • Location change • Unconcerned with conventions and traditions • Heretofore unacceptable locations • Single females prefer established locations • Couples & single men will take more risk for the $

  10. Renters • What does that mean - rentals? • Need to design for both singles and couples • “Renters by choice” aren’t a myth (20% 50K+ incomes) – they seek quality, mobility, and convenience – but affordability key for many • GenX not having children yet – some rent for a while • Echo Boomers – tomorrow’s renter (after 2008) • Many doubling up & living with parents

  11. Summary: Demographic Changes Driving New Residential Development • Maturing Boomers: • Luxury homes/condos and some rentals • More affluent demand top-flight amenities and services • GenX not having children yet, but soon • Moving into ownership • Echo Boom generation: • Tomorrow’s renter--after 2008 • Less affluent than GenX, doubling up, living with parents
