Westchester Modular Homes Podcast

In this episode we discuss the dynamic shift in the housing market to smaller homes and the growing popularity of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). The main reason for this shift in the market appears to be the rising costs to build and higher interest rates.

In this episode we discuss with Thomas Coronato of The Federal Savings Bank what he sees  going on in the home building market, and what challenges customers are facing such as  rising interest rates. They will discuss what people can expect as they go through the process and how to navigate those challenges.
