My Two Cents

I’ve spent two decades reporting on the housing business from both the trade and consumer side. While writing editorials for Custom Builder provides an outlet for my personal views, I only get to do that once in awhile and I'm constrained by space limitations. Now that I can share my thoughts with you a lot more often, I hope you’ll share yours, too. And be sure to follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/CustomBuilder.

What Do First-Time Home Buyers Want?

By Susan Bady

That's the working title of a story I'm writing for the October issue of Professional Builder. It will be a photo essay on new-home features that turn on entry-level buyers.

For optimum results, I need your help. Do you have photos of design features, products, materials and finishes that first-time buyers love? What else would you include on such a list? Community amenities such as a dog park or barbecue pit? Proximity to public transportation? Think outside the box. If, for example, modular housing is especially attractive to first-time buyers, we'll include that, too.

Whatever photos aren't shown in the print version of the story will run online as a slide show, so I need lots of ideas and images. Please e-mail me at susan.bady@reedbusiness.com. Thanks so much!
