Buying per Square Foot?
There is something that puzzles architect Ed Binkley about the current state of home building and buying. “We don’t buy cars by the pound, so why should we buy homes by the square footage?” says Binkley, an Oviedo, Fla.-based partner in the venerable architecture firm BSB Design.
Because “we buy cars based on comfort, price, accessibility, features, uniqueness, and how well they address our needs, wants, and desires,” Binkley believes, we should use the same criteria for making our home buying decisions.
Since the current trend is to build a smaller home and load it up with high end options and cutting edge technology. What do you think? Should we value a home more on the quality, features, lifestyle instead of its size?
