Purchasing or building a new home is typically filled with a surplus of decisions to be made. However, there are a few Top Features all new home buyers are currently expecting in today's market

OPEN CONCEPT FLOOR PLANS
Homes today are all about "flow." Home owners want to be able to move effortlessly throughout the main living areas while keeping contact with everyone else in the room. Having the kitchen open to the living area creates an intimate yet spacious concept. Spaces that are used for separate functions become connected while providing enough openness to not feel cramped. It's the perfect concept for families to be able to get the best of both atmospheres while sharing quality time together.

OUTDOOR SPACES

With more people beginning to care for the environment in today's world, comes more people choosing to enjoy the natural beauty of our planet. Home owners today are embracing the idea of having an outdoor living space. Attractive landscaping, outdoor fire pits and kitchens, pools, added with some unique outdoor furniture and you've got yourself a bonus area of your home to entertain, relax, and enjoy.

ENERGY EFFICIENT FEATURES
Today's homeowners are also considering the environment when looking for features in their homes. A "green" home can not only help protect many environmental factors, but it can also lower utility bills, and who doesn't want that? Energy efficient air conditioners, appliances, windows, and insulation are all just a few of the "green thumb" home features purchasers are looking for in today's real estate market.

HOME TECHNOLOGIES
Advancements in technology play a huge role in society today, and that's no exception when it comes our homes either. Just like we want the latest cell phone or PC, we also want the latest updates when it comes to our living space as well. Key-less locks, timed irrigation systems, and programmable thermostats and sound systems that can be controlled from a smart phone, are all added benefits of a home that offers the latest technological innovations. New home buyers are looking for these key factors to help make life a little easier, and save more time to enjoy relaxing with friends and family!
