Few Florida single-family homes suitable for disabled or elderly
The University of Florida suggested today in a news report that home builders should be building homes now to meet the needs of the aging baby boomer population.
Stan Smith, director of UF’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research said, “With the aging of the baby boomers, it’s pretty clear that the number of people who absolutely need these features to continue living in their own homes will rise substantially over the next several decades,” he said. “Unfortunately, there are relatively few single-family houses that will be able to accommodate them.”
The report further stated that over 90% of the homes today are not equipped for people who have trouble getting around. By 2050 1 in 5 households will have someone living in them with a disability.

Home builders pull in the reins on new-home production
In an ongoing effort to curb the excessive inventory, housing starts in January saw little movement.
“Builders continue to do what they need to do to reduce the inventory of units on the market, both by limiting new production and pulling fewer permits for new homes,” said Sandy Dunn, a home builder from Point Pleasant, W. Va., and newly elected president of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
