Beyond Trends: A Data-Driven Look at Design Buyers Will Actually Pay For

Beautiful images and trending designs can capture attention, but what buyers are willing to pay for comes down to the value they see and the price they can justify. Get a data-backed look at the floor plans, finishes, features and upgrades that actually sell, using images and sales data from homes across the country. See how kitchens, primary baths and outdoor spaces evolve across price tiers, which choices command a premium or help homes sell faster, and what you can skip without sacrificing buyer appeal. Explore where markets are oversaturated, where gaps exist and how to balance design trends with buyer expectations and budgets. Leave with clearer direction on what to build, upgrade and rethink to improve sales price, price per square foot and absorption.
