These impressive students have designed and constructed creatively themed pet homes, which will be on display to the public April 26th - 28th at The Village at Meridian. These curated pet homes will be offered in a fundraising auction hosted by the Professional Women In Building - BCA of Southwestern Idaho - PWB in Benefit of the Professional Women in Building BCASWI Trade Education and Training Scholarship Fund in an effort to support our local students who are a great fit for construction trade career paths.

National Update

According to the latest What Home Buyers Really Want Study, the vast majority of home buyers are looking for a home with at least one home office (or space dedicated to work/study). More specifically, 66% would prefer to buy a home with exactly one home office, 13% want at least two offices, and 20% want none (Fig. 1).

As homes continue to get smaller, understanding how much square footage buyers want to dedicate to a home office is a must. When asked, 59% of buyers interested in having a home office said it should be medium size (100 to 150 square feet). Much smaller shares of 22% and 19%, respectively, want the home office to be large (more than 150 square feet) or small (under 100 square feet).
