Why Townhomes Are a Smart Move Right Now
According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), 35% of buyers are now willing to go smaller to make homeownership possible.
And townhomes, with their efficient floorplans and lower price points, are rising to the top of the list.
Here’s why they’re such a great fit—especially in today’s market:
✅ Lower price tags than single-family homes
✅ Often located in walkable, community-oriented neighborhoods
✅ Less maintenance for buyers who don’t want to spend weekends on yard work
✅ A growing number of new construction options available

In fact, builders are responding to demand. Townhomes now make up a much larger share of new construction listings compared to just a few years ago, giving you more choices—and better affordability—as you search for your first home.
