As more young people look to move into the housing market and more retirees look to downsize, home builders have begun to move toward the middle of the market in 2017. Shares of both the most expensive homes (luxury, $500,000) and the least expensive homes (multifamily, $150,000) have fallen this year, while construction of the middle segments (move-up homes, starter homes, and townhouses) has risen. What does this mean for design? For the most part, it has followed the movement toward the middle, with a few notable exceptions.
