Big home builders in the Tampa Bay area were prospering a couple of years ago by building mostly larger homes, but when the market turned the home building business slowed dramatically.  They had to re-think their strategy as well as the type of product they would build in order to keep the business going.  The answer to their problems:  build a smaller product and make it affordable.  Pulte Homes in Tampa picked up on this idea immediately and is offering smaller products in their communities in Manatee County (Harrison Ranch) and in Hernando County (Trillium).  These two communities alone currently account for 70% of Pulte's business.  Pulte builds a nice product for the money.  Renters who had little or no hope of owning a home are now able to afford a brand new home in nice master planned communities.  Pulte is offering a 1,300 square foot home starting at $127,400.
