The average first time home buyer in America is 40 years of age. Interest rates, construction costs and large homes have put home ownership out of reach for too many. We’ve forgotten the benefits of ownership. Why pour rent money down the drain when you can be an owner, build equity, and get tax deductions? My 3 daughters are in the mid 20’s to early 30’s and I want to see more affordable housing for their generation. These solar townhomes are designed to be affordable. Less land and smaller size drive down costs, while a 20×24 foot great room with 10 foot ceilings makes these townhomes feel much larger. Add in 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ bathrooms, a small office and a one car garage and these 1750 square foot townhomes are more than enough. 28 solar panels on a south facing roof means no energy bills. All of this can be built for $450,000. That’s affordable!
