Contemporary homes: West Coast vs East Coast

[Calvin Lin]

Hi all so I have been in the market to find a contemporary / modern style home for personal use for some time in a few different states on the E. Coast primarily but it seems that there are very few builders on the E. Coast that build such homes, where as on the W. Coast / Western US you can find plenty of such homes in places like LA, Seattle, Las Vegas.  Is this observation correct and if so why is that?  Is this type of home just not attractive to most buyers or something?
