13 Home Trends Stealing
the Spotlight in 2022
National Association of REALTORS®
|
While buyers are still seeking homes that offer safe, enjoyable shelter, new wish list items are emerging that give houses better design and function.
Home design trends that are expected to loom large in 2022 are an evolution of what started during the pandemic when life was disrupted and more homeowners started reevaluating their surroundings. Cases in point: the rise of the home office and backyard pools.

Housing Demand Not
Slowed By Winter
Colorado Association of REALTORS®
|
NAR data shows that national inventory decreased by 12% in October, and 82% of homes were sold in under a month. These two different forces, inventory and time on the market, are driving the sales climate, snowflakes or not. “While there are some that say we are overdue for a price correction, demand for housing is creating a hard bottom unlike what we saw in 2008,” said CAR spokesperson Matthew Leprino. In Colorado, the number of homes listed on the MLS decreased by 8.1% to 8,200 total units |
