Ok I’ll give it a try, Of the big 3 home builders why can’t one of them build a bunch of 3 bed/2 bath, 1200-1800 sq. ft. homes that are affordable preferably without HOA’s.
Instead they build these McMansions thinking that people who already own homes are going to upgrade. Surprise! a lot of those people that own older smaller homes don’t want the higher taxes and/or interest rates. Common sense to me, but I guess the 2 story McMansions on cookie cutter lots has better profit margins. Most first time home buyers don’t need a McMansion! If anyone knows of a new build SFH in San Diego County that is a single story 3/2 for under 400k with no HOA let me know. There used to be some out in Campo a long time ago, those were the cheapest ones I can remember.
