Previously, everyone was worried about the fact that they have small apartments, and now it is fashionable to have a small apartment. The trend is all micro-greet: studios, apartments, loft, simple one-room apartments, etc. p. The main thing is that real estate is effective.
The reasons why small apartments are now quite simple in fashion: demography, technology, lifestyle and economy. Now quite a few people aged 18 to 33 are looking for ways to live on their own. This group strives to acquire their own housing and mortgage loans very much contribute to this, but not everyone can afford multi -room housing. At the other end of the spectrum, people over 65 years old, who exchange their three -room and two -room apartments for housing for themselves and their children (grandchildren). It turns out that in return for one large apartment, they buy two small.
Achievements in technology made small spaces more convenient and practical than large apartments. In addition, if earlier the house needed a lot of space, now such a need has disappeared. For example, a huge table is no longer needed to place a computer, and many people now store books in an electronic gadget, not on racks. The computer tables have become thinner, the TVs almost merge with the wall, and the sliding doors allow you to make a small spacious wardrobe from any part of the house with shelves to the ceiling. Ultimately, in large apartments with current furniture and technology, there are quite empty.
In addition, for large apartments you need to pay a lot, both for tax and by rent. The more square meters you have, the more you need to give for heating and other utilities. And at the same time, large rooms are more difficult to heat and cool. Cleaning is also carried out longer, and if it is necessary to repair, more money is invested in the repair of large rooms.
Many people prefer small apartments because they are more convenient. By the way, this is a plus for both young and elderly people.
The economic situation also stimulates the acquisition of small real estate. It is not always profitable to rent one -room apartments, because people still prefer to rent housing together, but the desire for independence gradually makes odnushki and studios a more popular type of housing for renting.
On the other side of the spectrum, large families who prefer to live several generations together, but such families choose country houses with extensions for several separate families.
