The Biggest Home Buying Trends of 2019

July 9, 2019 by Brittany Nagy Leave a Comment

One of the most prominent home buying trends of this year has been the continuous search for sustainability. Mostly thanks to millennials, many people are looking for an eco-smart and a technologically smart home. With the rapid advancement of technology, there is no doubt that this eco-friendly lifestyle will be slowing down any time soon.

Environmental Sustainability

In terms of rising home buying trends, the days of choosing between style and eco-friendliness are over! Sustainability has risen to become a massive home buying trend within the past year. So, since more people are transitioning to a sustainable lifestyle, they need a sustainable home to match. Another home buying trend is using renewable materials to create furniture, carpets, and other household items. For example, Sisal carpet is a material made from the agave plant that has proved to be extremely durable. But, what makes it so popular is that it’s all-natural and unlike most other carpets, it doesn’t contain any plastic. Some companies are even crafting textiles from recycled plastic waste and furniture out of mushroom fibers and seaweed. The majority of this generation’s home buyers see sustainability as more than just a trend. Therefore, it’s important to consider adapting to natural and recyclable materials when looking to sell.

If you speak one of the many demands, and this gadget will be able to control aspects of your home with its voice recognition capabilities. Once you have the Echo, you can control various of different smart devices within your home. An additional smart home tool that’s popular is The Nest.

Green Is In

Furthermore, darker shades of green are also apart of the home buying trends this year. Many people say it keeps them relaxed because they feel more connected to nature. However, an even bigger trend has been incorporating outdoor elements with the interior design. Over the past year, you’ve most likely seen plants taking over the interior space. Similarly to the color green, it exudes a more natural aesthetic that many people love. Because of its popularity, there’s even a hashtag on Instagram, “#Planstagram”, with over one-hundred thousand posts. And, we don’t see that number slowing down any time soon.
