What’s Hot & What’s Not in Home Design

October 26, 2013 by Dargan

To truly understand what attributes or features home buyers seek in today’s market, it’s sometimes more helpful to know what attributes or features that turn them away. For example: 80s-styled homes are big turn off for a lot of home buyers. In fact–a large percentage of buyers who can’t afford a newer home, pass over homes built between 1970-1999 for older ones.

The older homes that are more popular right now include pre-WWII homes (Victorians, Colonials, or any architecture with Old-World charm and character), mid-century styled homes with flat roofs and geometric windows, and Mediterranean homes with Spanish or Italian details.
