I was told that building a 2 bedroom house is not a worth while investment?

Question

because they are harder to sell. Is this true.

Answer 1

Generally, yes...but it depends.
If you're building in a retirement community, a lot of folks will just build two bedroom houses. Also, if you're just building a "starter" home as cheaply as possible, you can get by with just two bedrooms...but if all the neighboring homes are three and four bedrooms, it will really be hard to sell.
If you can afford to, why not just build another bedroom while you're building? It'll be much cheaper to do it from scratch, instead of adding on later...and you can always use it for either an office or an extra storage room
Good luck!

Answer 2

I was also told that 2 bedroom houses don't sell well. If you think about it most families consist of 2 parents and two kids. Not everyone needs 3 or more bedrooms, but you'd be safer to build a house that appealed to more people .

How about building a 2 bedroom house with an option to split one of the larger rooms into 2 decent sized rooms when you decided to sell?

I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a 2 bedroom home as long as it was a larger home with a basement.

Answer 3

Yes, they are harder to sell. People usually want at least 3 bedrooms.

Answer 4

True. Remember a bedroom has to have a closet and a window. In many places the window must be 5.5 sq. ft. in new construction. So a Firefighter with an airpack can get in.

Answer 5

Yes

Just build the same size house but sqeeze in one more BR. That's what builders do. Go look at some new model homes. Look at the size of the smallest BR. Tiny in many cases.

Answer 6

I would say yes because most people who will be looking to buy a house will probably be families and will need more rooms than that.
