How General Contractors in Atlanta are Meeting Buyer Costs

How General Contractors in Atlanta are Meeting Buyer Costs

With increased cost of materials, and not wanting to price out buyers, homes have been shrinking in size. For these smaller homes to make sense, general contractors like Sterling Park Properties, are including more value-added items. Better quality appliances, better details, better layouts, better overall simple things that don’t cost more.

Shrinking Home Sizes to Meet Costs

CEO of Sterling Park Properties, Emmanuel Baptiste states that, “As home prices soar and urban density increases in Atlanta, buyers are gravitating toward smaller, more affordable living spaces. In response to these trends, we are adapting our strategies to accommodate shrinking home sizes while still delivering high-quality, functional, and aesthetically pleasing homes.”

The first place to start is by embracing efficient architectural design. This means maximizing square footage to ensure no space is wasted. Open floor plans, multi-functional rooms, and built-in storage solutions are becoming standard. Combining kitchen, dining, and living areas into a single, open space creates a sense of spaciousness while reducing the overall footprint.

Emmanuel says, “Atlanta is now trending towards the European architectural style of living in smaller spaces.”

Smaller homes require less energy to heat and cool, and at Sterling Park Properties, we are going a step further by incorporating energy-efficient windows, and insulation, reducing utility costs for homeowners, and making homes more affordable to live in over time.

“Smart home technology is another trend our project managers are embracing,” smiles Emmanuel. “By integrating technology like smart thermostats, lighting systems, and security features we build smaller homes that are energy efficient.”

To compensate for smaller interior spaces, enhancing outdoor living areas is a must. Patios, balconies, and rooftop gardens are the perfect additions for relaxation and entertainment. We can expand the usable living area without increasing the home's footprint.

Emmanuel sums it up for home buyers, “Ultimately, the push towards smaller homes is driven by affordability. Sterling Park Properties have found ways to reduce construction costs without compromising on quality. Through innovative design, technological integration, and a focus on efficiency, we are now creating homes that meet the budgets of today's buyers.”

As the Atlanta housing market continues to evolve for this vibrant and accessible city, Sterling Park Properties is with you every step of the way.
