Reviving an Old Style?

[Terrel L. Shields]

"Modern" hasn't been modern for decades and I am now seeing more single sloped roofing, angular modern design in rural areas around. Is that style becoming more common in new construction in your area?

Just looks like it doesn't fit. I like the style, but seems like you'd se that in some urban hipster setting.

I can show you at least 3 such dwellings within a 5-mile radius built in the last 2 years. I wonder if it is the same builder.

A number of sales of similar style in a newer PUD near me

I've done two in the past month. Million range. Most are in fill homes in existing suburban neighborhoods. No market resistance, but the dom are slightly longer and they have a smaller pool of buyers for sure.

We are not seeing much in rural areas, a couple, mostly due to the population growth of Eastern Europeans, they prefer modern designs.

I just wonder what the neighbors thank when this modern design is being built in a neighborhood with traditional ranch, farmhouse, European or French country design. They stand out to say the least.

How will the value hold up in the long run? Contemporary designs from the 80's and now tend to have some market resistance and sell at a lower price point as compared to 80's traditional two stories.

Doesn't seem to make much difference here. We have no real traditional housing. Just small houses that became bigger versions of the house.

Only on infill hillside lots that have restrictions on blocking others views but also cheaper to build maybe ?

I recently observed various relatively new, relatively large, multi-story condos in several SoCal cities that are almost identical.
