Realtor.com just published a study based on surveys on their websites asking people what they were looking for in their new home. Here are some of the more interesting (to me, at least!) findings.
- Ranch style homes are the most popular (yay, I own one of those!), with 42% of respondents having these top in their choices. “No preference” was second with 29%, Contemporary came in with 28%, Craftsman with 23% and Colonial with 20%.
- 80% of respondents regard the kitchen in their top 3 most important rooms, followed by the master bedroom (49%) and living room (42%).
- 53% of shoppers are considering single-family homes, 26% are considering townhouses/ rowhouses and 11% are considering condos/ apartments.
- More than half of shoppers think of buying 3-bed room. 75% of shoppers consider 2-bathroom homes, and 17% of them consider 3-bath. Other bath options are not in popular demand.
