The main reason is to make homes more affordable for a broader range of buyers, particularly young professionals and first-time homeowners.
Reducing apartment sizes lowers construction and maintenance costs, which can be passed on to buyers, making homes more affordable. Additionally, smaller homes are often more energy-efficient, leading to lower utility bills.
The main challenges include ensuring that smaller living spaces are well-designed and functional, providing all the necessary amenities, and maintaining a focus on quality over quantity.
The government is introducing various initiatives and subsidies to encourage developers to build more affordable homes, which is expected to further boost the trend of smaller, more affordable apartments in NCR.
The trend is expected to transform the landscape of urban living in NCR by making homeownership a viable option for a broader segment of the population and potentially increasing the supply of affordable homes in the market.
