In my parents', and grandparents', time I have noticed that homes went from having a door on every room, to the homes of today with wide open spaces - great rooms are standard. I think that technology has helped to make this possible as well. When houses needed to be heated, or cooled, having enclosed rooms helped.

With the economic conditions that exist right now, our boomer buyers want their homes to be efficient in square footage. They do not want to pay for rooms that they are not going to use. They want their home to accomodate their needs and they want to put the square feet in the rooms that are important to their lifestyles.
