House dreams change years in bicentennial year
AP Business Analyst John Cunniff reports from New York that rising costs force a shift in home buying. Philip Smaby, president of the National Association of Realtors, argues for basic, affordable houses of 900 to 1,100 square feet with fewer amenities. Builders cut lot sizes and features, while some buyers turn to older homes as new-home sales lag. The trend mirrors auto market dynamics, with durable used cars holding value while new compacts struggle. Derelict cars in Prince Edward Island are being removed under a program paying 20 dollars per body.
