The Wall Street Journal recently reported that luxury home builders all across the nation are downsizing and building smaller homes with fewer amenities to meet the growing demand of homebuyers in this challenged economy. 

Winchester Homes has addressed this growing need  for smaller new homes in Virginia and Maryland by creating several new floorplans that range from 1,973 to 2,800 square feet of finished living spaces. These homes are built with the same level of quality that Winchester Homes is known for but at a price point that is much more affordable to buyers in today's market.  

How do you feel about the trend towards smaller homes and what are you willing to give up? Formal living rooms are being replaced with studies. Owner's suites are getting smaller with the elimination of sitting rooms.  Have you considered what you can live without in your new home?
