As the Real Estate market flounders more and more people are improving there homes.  Instead of adding on to their homes for $50,000 they are taking a less expensive and more atmospheric way. It is the new trend. They are setting up an outdoor greatroom. So I was wondering if any of you have seen this happening in your areas. I have noticed that builders having to discount their spec homes to sell them are now offering outdoor upgrades to help bring their prices up.  What do you think?
