Specifically, I am suggesting that home builders consider building again \u201cunfinished\u201d homes, that still meet building codes and enable families to legally move into the houses, and home-buyers to start putting in some sweat equity to create their finished home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- 468x60_below_Author_Name --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 468px; height: 60px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3988490936633155\" data-ad-slot=\"5936342260\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The first two homes I purchased in the 1980\u2019s were \u201cunfinished\u201d new houses.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The houses were two story colonials, located in New Hampshire, that had their first levels completed, and their upstairs uncompleted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On the first level, there was a kitchen, dining room, living room, a bedroom and one full bath.

Or more accurately, creative home builders are going to have to look back at old playbooks from their predecessors of the 1980s. In some cases, it may mean offering \u201cunfinished\u201d homes like I\u2019ve described above and\/or alternatively, they may have to build much smaller homes, or homes on smaller lot footprints, and\/or a combination of both.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">And for the would-be home-buyers, they may need to buy a hammer and saw, and be willing to roll up their sleeves and put in some sweat equity to realize their future home.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So even though the future may look a little bleak at the moment for home builders and would-be home-buyers, I am optimistic that smarter non-political heads will prevail in restoring the housing market, and enabling families to realize their dreams to still purchase new houses and raise their children in them.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"49%\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-447 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Construction_2-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"home remodeling budget tips\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Construction_2-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Construction_2-1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It just make take a little retro look back at the home building industry from the 1980s, when not only the music being produced was better, but also new home construction was also just as creative<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>For more help on building a home addition<\/b><\/span>, see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s<b> <a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Home Addition Bid Sheets<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN\">. <\/span><\/b>Our\u00a0<b><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Home Addition Bid Sheets<\/span><\/a> <\/b>provide you with the knowledge and information on how to plan a home building project, and what to look for when hiring contractors.
