THE NEW AMERICAN HOME PRODUCT OBSOLESCENCE
STOP THINKING 1979 ... 1980
Underserved Markets • We are Still Building As If Every Buyer is a Nuclear Family…
But The Truth Is • The Average Home Square Footage is UP 46% • The Average Household Size is Down 23%
HOME OFFICE • AT LEAST 1/3 OF YOUR BUYERS WORK FULL TIME FROM HOME
US CENSUS DATA TYPICAL AMERICAN FAMILY • 86 million people in this country are single • 51% of all adult women in this country are single.

But what is the big picture telling us? Over the next 4 month stretch, the average base price decreased- 3.3% Over this 20 month stretch, the average base price rose only + 1.1% Over the following 3 month stretch, the average base price rose + 14.2%!!! Up +69% Since Jan. 2001
Observation: Our local bubble is leaking air.
“Average” & “Median” percentage increase for Albuquerque (Year over year comparison) * NEW HOME BROCHURE BASE ASKING PRICE (Single Family Homes) November 2006 average = $256,174 November 2007 average = $253,847 0.9% decrease That’s the first year over year average price decrease since February of 2004 Source: SalesTraq of New Mexico - www.salestraq.com/albuquerque
Price Prediction: In the months ahead, base prices of new homes will continue to decline. This will be accomplished primarily by downgrading the “standard features”.
Certainty: The new homes of the future will continue to be designed and driven largely by the need for “energy efficiency”
