we’ve got the top things that are IN and what’s totally OUT when it comes to purchasing a home:
IN:
• Eco-Friendly Homes: Energy-efficient appliances, solar panels, and sustainable materials are a big hit— because things just cost a lot right now…
• Smart Home Technology: Automated systems for security, temperature control, and even smart kitchens.
• Minimalist Interiors: Clean lines, open spaces, and less clutter.
• Home Offices: A dedicated space for remote work is now a must.
• Outdoor Living Spaces: Gardens, patios, and outdoor kitchens for entertaining and relaxation.
• Community Amenities: Neighborhoods with parks, fitness centers, and communal spaces.
• Functional Spaces: Rooms that can easily convert from an office to a guest room to a play room to a music room. Catch our drift…?
• Local Art and Craftsmanship: Custom pieces and local art are becoming popular. @jeffweiroilworks is our personal fav 😍
OUT:
• Large, Unused Spaces: Formal dining rooms and living rooms are losing appeal.
• Cookie-Cutter Homes: Buyers are shying away from standard, identical designs. They don’t want to walk into their neighbors home and feel like they’re in their own 😳
• Wall-to-Wall Carpeting: Hardwood floors or tiles are preferred for easier cleaning.

• DIY Renovations: Buyers now prefer move-in-ready homes over fixer-uppers.
• Tight, cramped neighborhoods: The trend is shifting towards urban living or rural retreats.
• Over-the-Top Luxury
