The Attainability Test: Building for a Buyer Who Keeps Moving Further Out of Reach
What to expect
53% of builders are shrinking lot sizes for detached homes. 42% are adding BTR to their communities. The median first-time buyer age is 41. Gen Z spends 37% of income on mortgage payments vs. 26% for the average buyer. And interest rate relief seems out of sight. The math is increasingly broken — but MPCs are uniquely positioned to solve it through density, product mix, and creative financing, if they choose to try. The question: can a top MPC build genuinely attainable product without cannibalizing its brand? Dive in to how developers and builders across the country are pursuing value, making smart compromises, and maintaining community quality.
