We will have to start somewhere, but it should still be a part of who you are when you get that starter home.

John, starter homes have certainly changed over the years. In many markets today, the challenge is not simply finding a smaller home, but finding one at a price that truly gives a first-time buyer a reasonable place to begin building equity. This is an important conversation for buyers and for communities planning future housing.
