There have been people who professionally customized their homes for a long time, as well as people who constructed their homes themselves. Still, many customers have relied on what was already available on the housing market for years.
Market Changes
People could spend years saving for a house that may not be available when they're ready to purchase it. While people may have these problems with many purchases, these situations can be particularly common when housing is involved.
As people save for their new houses, the styles of newly constructed homes can also change. People may prefer the housing that was common in one particular range of years. When it's time to buy a house, there may be fewer available homes that have those designs.
All fashions can change quickly, and the consequences can be different from one field to the next. Customers buy clothes more often than they buy houses, and fashions related to clothing change especially rapidly.
