Small Housing Trends: Recession Survival Tactics & Moving Forward

Speakers: Debra Bassert, Vice President of Land Use Policy, National Association of Home Builders; Donald Powers, Founding Partner, Union Studio; Dena Belzer, President, Strategic Economics; Toby Rittner, President and CEO, Council of Development Finance Agencies; John Williams, Chair and CEO, Impact Infrastructure

Entrepreneurial builders have worked through the recession by capitalizing on trends toward smaller housing. Demographic trends and housing surveys identify a growing interest in buyers and renters for smaller housing units. In new communities or infill projects, big or small markets, these builders have noticed the trends and have responded with new models for attached and detached units at various price points. With changing preferences among Generation Y and boomers, unstable oil prices and volatility in the costs of construction, builders are giving more consideration to what and where they build. The demand for smaller housing transcends economic conditions. Hear what these builders are saying about working through the recession, and what is needed to thrive as the housing market improves and a New Normal is established. The panelists offer insight into finance, zoning, design, construction, demographics and placemaking, as we explore the growing opportunity in small housing.
