Contemporary homes: West Coast vs East Coast

Investor · Raleigh, NC · Member since 2015 · 81 posts · 210 votes

Hi all so I have been in the market to find a contemporary / modern style home for personal use for some time in a few different states on the E. Coast primarily but it seems that there are very few builders on the E. Coast that build such homes, where as on the W. Coast / Western US you can find plenty of such homes in places like LA, Seattle, Las Vegas. Is this observation correct and if so why is that? Is this type of home just not attractive to most buyers or something?

@Calvin Lin Those West coast homes are the craftsman style. I love them, but they are rarer on the east/ Middwest.

Give this satire Blog a look www.mcmansionhell.com I think it will give you some great advice on designing modern homes.
An investor client of mine found a great builder in NJ. I'll see if i can get the name.

@Calvin Lin Vegas builders were stuck in a mediterranean style of home for a couple of decades before finally expanding into alternatives like the style you show in the photo. I think a lot of builders have a hard time trying new things when they've been doing the same thing for so long. I'd bet there are buyers for this product in your market too. It's been quite well received here in Vegas.
