Why are there so few modern contemporary homes in the USA?

are there any government regulations that don’t allow this particular style to be built, be waste of energy, gas, materials, etc,?

    That depends on where you live, but the majority of US homebuyers tend to prefer “traditional” or older looking style homes. It’s just a question of taste and marketing. Builders save money by building the same style for everyone so they just pick what is most popular and stick to that. Popularity lowers prices and is self-perpetuating since building materials and furnishings in that style will also proliferate until the cheapest style for most common people becomes that one.

    The Northeast, Midwest and Southeast tend to have the most tradutional taste. You are more apt to find modern looking homes on the West Coast , the Gulf coast and the intermountain West. Technically, the common “ranch-style” house is modern and you will find plenty of those everywhere.

    It’s all relative and how you define modern. Back in the early 20th century Craftsman style homes were considered “modern” and now they are considered “vintage and quaint”.

    styles of homes are always changing with technology, and taste in home buyers

    a lot of people these days do not have time or interest in maintaining homes like we did in the past also.

    but also architecture styles always change in time also, so all of this is a big reason why.

    it also has to do with the average amount of wages and things liken that in a community or city., and what the area can afford

    hope this helps
