Top Selling House Plans - 2009
What are the top-selling house plans? How do I know what house plans consumers are buying? Simple. My source is Builder House Plans (Builder Online) and they have announced the Top 10 Best Selling Consumer House Plans for 2009.
**Builder House Plans is the largest supplier of house plans in the United States.**
An interesting fact about the top 10 selling plans for 2008 vs. 2009 is that the top plans for 2008 were more budget-minded designs and had a slightly less average square footage (2,584 sq. ft vs. 3,075 sq. ft for 2009).
These top selling/best house plans that builders are buying are based upon current consumer needs and plans that home buyers are searching for most.
A larger portion of home buyers are older (rather than younger couples) and are requesting first floor bedroom suites with sitting rooms. Recurring features in many of the house plans include morning kitchens, large master bathrooms, multiple porches, large windows, fireplaces and garden tubs.
I expected house plans to reduce in square footage rather than increase but it's really just a matter of these top 10 selling house plans in particular.
Here are the 2009 Top 10 Best House Plans:

My #1 choice amongst these top 10 house plans is the #1 plan. It's not because it's already #1 but rather that I like that style of home. It fits my personality and style more than any of the others. That's my two cents worth.
