American dream homes
Article Abstract:
The area around Phoenix, Arizona, is the location for a considerable number of new housing developments. Builders are finding it easy to obtain planning permission, but must comply with strict regulations on issues such as height and colour of new houses. There is a growing trend towards offering 'personalised' homes, with buyers purchasing off plan. It is possible to specify upgrades, which can considerably increase the price of a house.
