Top Trends You'll Want to Consider When Buying a Home

At the 2024 International Builders’ Show, numerous new trends emerged in the housing industry, but one stands out most. While the trends of homes remain crucial, understanding the evolving demographics of homebuyers is paramount. It's evident that younger generations are increasingly shaping the market and its demands. However, there's a deeper shift at play. A common theme across these trends is a global consciousness, reflecting the changing priorities and investments of Millennials and Gen Zers. It's vital for you to know these trends when considering buying a home.

Creating Serene Living Spaces

The first trend that caught our attention at the show was a significant evolution in homebuyers' search for sanctuaries within their homes. This trend goes far beyond the confines of the primary bedroom, reaching into every aspect of the home.  It encompasses a desire for open, airy spaces flooded with natural light and a want for spa-like features seamlessly integrated. This supports our search for stability and well-being in our homes when it can become challenging to relax and decompress.

Catering to Conscious Homebuyers

Brands have continued to share their sustainability missions and efforts. This momentum has increased as the home-buying generation shifts its focus to cater to Millennials and Gen Zers, emphasizing living spaces that are free of harmful toxins.

Eco Pulse reports that 66% of Millennials express concerns about indoor air quality. At Organized Living, we prioritize ensuring that all our products are designed and manufactured without emitting harmful VOCs or toxins into the environment. By aligning our values with the shifting priorities of homebuyers, we strive to foster healthier living environments and contribute to a more sustainable future for the industry.

Integrating Biophilic Design

Continuing with these younger generations' desire for global consciousness, they are going a step further in their demand to have spaces that focus on relaxation, pulling nature features into the home. Studies have shown that incorporating natural materials like wood into interior design can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall mood. Additionally, biophilic design principles, which involve incorporating elements of nature into homes, are gaining acknowledgment for enhancing homebuyers' well-being.

Adaptable Living Spaces

Dynamic Colors Matter

Color may appear less notable among these trends shaping the housing industry, yet it remains vital for Millennials and Gen Zers. Beyond paint choices, color is incorporated into various areas of home design, including tile, flooring, wood tones, hardware, and beyond. In line with the overarching themes of retreat, nature, and biophilic design, colors play a pivotal role in creating harmonious living spaces that resonate with these generations' demands.

These trends showcased play a crucial part in the housing industry. Considering these trends for future homebuying will help you create living spaces that you will enjoy long-term and cater to the diverse needs of future generations.
