In the last few years, people’s values and activities have shifted, thus influencing new home trends. Before the pandemic, many people worked and pursued activities outside the home. This affected how, including how much, they utilized the space within their homes. Now with remote work on the rise, plus a desire to connect with nature, builders are constructing homes to support these new demands.

 

Below, we share the top four new home trends that will dominate the real estate market in 2023. These are features many homebuyers desire as they continue to transition into a new way of living.

 

 

Biophilic Design

 

Biophilic design incorporates nature, such as its shapes, colors, and textures. It combines the essential features of a home with natural elements to produce a relaxing and immersive environment.

 

Common aspects of biophilic design are skylights and wall-length windows that bring in natural light, earth-tone colors such as green, brown, and blue, and indoor nature elements such as fountains and greenery.

 

 

Sustainability

 

More Americans are embracing sustainability. When it comes to housing, smart home technology, energy-efficient appliances, and natural materials support those efforts.

 

Materials such as brick, wood, and stone are becoming desired materials in construction, and energy-saving features such as LED lighting, heat-reflecting roofs, and energy-efficient dishwashers continue to be popular. Even home electric vehicle charging stations are in demand.

 

 

Multipurpose Rooms

 

Homes with flexible rooms are on most homebuyers’ lists. Many people work remotely and are looking for spaces that can be an office or easily transition into one when needed. Ideally, people want homes with rooms that can serve a variety of purposes at different times, with the ability to pivot for entertainment, work, relaxation, and storage.

 

These rooms allow you to create an area that’s unique to your interests and aesthetics. As a result, you get an environment that supports your life and is one you’ll enjoy spending time in.

 

 

Smart Device Technology

 

Technology serves a major role in society, especially in the home. Smart technology has many benefits in terms of efficiency, convenience, and costs, and more homebuyers are requiring it as a feature. For example, the 55+ elevator townhomes at The Village at Cabin Branch have smart thermostats that program room temperature and water sensors that monitor water usage.

 

There’s even smart lighting, smart security systems, and automatic scheduling for services such as maintenance.
