Fannie Mae (FNMA)

No I hear you, but how come mainstream builders and over 55 builders haven't embraced it? My experience with builders over the last 3 decades is that they LOVE standardized sizes and are not super wild about all the special deviations couples always want. Kitchens and Baths are always important to buyers and prospective buyers have been conditioned to think a kitchen sink and cabinets should be around hip height and if they walk into the builders model houses and if they are lower and there's room to park the seat of a wheelchair under the kitchen sink, they may go on to the next subdivision on the couples list.

With ALL the retirement communities in Florida, not even one builder has embraced the universal design concept? With the 70 million plus loaded baby boomers retiring at over 10,000/day, this universal design concept sounds like some astute builder should run with it.
