They used to be the preserve of the filthy rich. Now there are ultra-modern homes for almost every budget.Opulent architect-designed homes were once limited to the obscenely wealthy but, as property markets have become more far flung, there has been a revolution in architecture. Now, even those of us without deep pockets can live in high style. This change has been driven by a desire among buyers for modernist properties designed with a degree of creativity.Ted Baillie says even areas that attract less adventurous purchasers are seeing signs of change. The same is true throughout the world, as affordable properties are becoming increasingly glamorous. Similarly in the US, where prices are in a slump, it's possible to pick up chic new apartments in Miami and New York from under £300,000! Overseas Homes Forever has a number of exellent value investment properties in New York and a range of Miami style properties to suite every budget.
