Attainable & Alternative Housing: Challenges, Perceptions and Solutions

Build Cast is thrilled to introduce our new co-host, Natalie Roberts of Social Strategies! 

For over a decade, Natalie Roberts has been strategically scaling residential home builders and developers with social strategies that engage and deepen relationships with their brand. She brings a wealth of knowledge to organizations of any size.

Even though attainable housing represents as much as 60 percent of market demand in some markets in today's market, supply constraints are driving up prices on virtually all for-sale housing, and are causing lower cost, entry-level product to all but vanish. Larger, less affordable homes represent a growing share of the market and contribute to a lack of housing supply at lower price points. This trend of bigger homes with multiple bedrooms has coincided with a trend of decreasing household sizes, creating a growing mismatch of product to demand. Nearly 50 percent of delivered homes are four bedrooms or more, while less than 10 percent offer one and two bedrooms. Additionally, multifamily permits have shifted from for-sale products to products for rent.
