Design Trends: Smaller House Plans Take Center Stage


Thinking about building a new home? If so, you've probably shaved a few square feet off the size of the home you originally thought you were going to build. As the economy limps along, many folks have "skinnied up" their version of their dream home to help keep the total cost of their project down. This trend has most definitely been confirmed at Coastal Home Plans with the average size plan purchases for April 2009 coming in at 2,270. This is a full 500 square feet smaller than the average square footage for plans purchased in 2008.

Visitors are flocking to check out smaller cottage designs in our inventory - including, in no particular order, these popular plans:

The Sullivan's Island Retreat
Mingo Creek
Sprig Tail Cottage
Calusa Cottage
Carrabelle Cottage
Banks Channel

Smaller may just be the smarter way to go - you will save money not only on the construction of your new home, but on the operation of it as well.
