The housing market is ever evolving-and so are the homes buyers are choosing. Whether you’re dreaming of a spacious Mediterranean villa or a cozy Colonial, knowing what’s trending can help you shop smarter and feel more confident in your decisions.
Colonial & Traditional American Styles
Classics never go out of style. Colonial and Traditional
American-Style homes remain the most common on the market, making
up nearly half of all homes for sale this spring. Their symmetrical
design, timeless appeal, and family-friendly layouts continue to attract buyers
across the country.
If you're looking for something familiar, functional, and full of charm, a Colonial-style home might be the perfect fit.
Mediterranean Homes
Mediterranean-style homes—known for their stucco walls, red
tile roofs, and expansive layouts—are among the largest and priciest properties
available today. That’s no surprise, considering they’re most common in
high-cost markets like Los Angeles and Miami.
While these homes offer plenty of luxury and curb appeal, they tend to come with a higher price point, which may be a consideration for today’s more budget-conscious buyers.
Bigger Isn’t Always Better
Over the past six years, larger homes have seen slower price
growth compared to their smaller counterparts. That’s largely due to a shift in
buyer preferences: many house hunters are prioritizing affordability and value
over square footage, especially in lower-cost neighborhoods.
Smaller homes in desirable communities are becoming more
attractive, particularly for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize.

professionals—it’s essential knowledge for anyone navigating today’s
competitive market. Whether you’re just starting to browse or ready to make an
offer, having the right information can help you feel more confident and in
