At IBS 2014 panelists at an NAHB revealed that there will be a strong demand for multi-family house plans over the next few years. Due to a variety of factors the number of homes that are available for rent rather than ownership has increased steadily since 2004 and multi-family house plans fit the bill perfectly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe multifamily market has rebounded significantly from its trough in 2009 at 82,000 multi-family housing starts to 340,000 in 2013,\u201d said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. \u201cNAHB is forecasting 363,000 multi-family housing starts in 2015, which is above the previous longer term average of 340,000 as more young adults prefer renting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Due<\/a>
The Due Volte Casa house plan<\/a> is a duplex house plan<\/a> in disguise. Two very similar units wrap around and complement each other. The two main living areas in this house plan are wide open, yet cozy, and upstairs, the bedrooms share a Jack and Jill style bath. A central den area is perfect for relaxing. While the two units in this multi-family house plan<\/strong> are close in appearance and layout they are not identical..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The strong performance of multi-family house plans come from three sources. The first was the way that construction stalled during the original economic collapse. The 2011 resurgence of multi-family construction was catching up with the normal flow.\u00a0 The second source is a strong demand for apartments being fed by a rising demographic of echo boomers. This demographic will continue to grow as the market absorbs more people born after 1980. The third source is young adults who might have otherwise chosen homeownership and some older adults as well being hindered by a variety of issues, including tight underwriting standings for mortgages to low credit scores.<\/p>\n

\"Mapplethorpe<\/a>
The Mapplethorpe house plan<\/a> is a beautiful multi-family house plan<\/i> with large windows, beautifully shingled exteriors, attractive porticoes, and steeply pitched roof lines. This multi-family house plan<\/u> is compact enough for one, yet has enough space for an entire family. Three bedrooms, complete with unexpected built-ins double as flexible space<\/a> and the rest of the multi-family house plan\u2019s layout is well thought-out with vaulted foyers leading into two main level bedrooms and upstairs is the main living area, making this a great \u00a0multi-family house plan for taking in amazing hillside views.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While multi-family house plan construction continues to be strong the NAHB does expect the speed to decrease as sustainable levels are reached in 2015 or 2016. In the meantime many markets are regaining their footing and producing as many multi-family units as they did during the relatively stable period between 1996 and 2006.\u00a0As a result, the share of households that rent rather than own has increased steadily since 2004 and will likely continue until jobs are more secure, mortgages more accessible and careers more stable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe multifamily market has come a long way since the collapse,\u201d said panelist Guy K. Hays, president of Legacy Partners Residential Inc. in Foster City, Calif. \u201cOverall, supply and demand are in balance, and in most markets there is a need for the continued production of new units.\u201d<\/p>\n
