The Accessibility Market

One-story home

One-Story Construction

Homebuyers are favoring ranch homes without stairs so they can address accessibility as they get older. Colonials and split-levels are harder to adapt.

Multigenerational family

Multigenerational Living

Buyers seek homes where aging grandparents can live alongside their young grandchildren. Everyone helps, and everyone benefits.
