Why Your First Home Might Be a Shoebox

Thinking about buying your first home? Get ready to downsize your dreams—literally. Thanks to sky-high prices and mortgage rates, builders are making starter homes smaller than ever. Forget the big backyard; today’s buyers are snapping up cozy spaces, flex rooms, and open kitchens just to get a foot in the door. If you want more space for your money, the Midwest and South are still your best bet, but even there, the square footage is shrinking. Time to get creative with your living space! #HomeBuyingHacks #StarterHome #RealEstate
