🏡 Home Features Buyers Are Paying More For in 2026 (And What They're Avoiding)

In 2026, buyers are no longer just looking for a place to live, they’re seeking a lifestyle. Homes with sought-after features like outdoor kitchens, docks, and custom finishes are commanding higher prices, with some selling for up to +5.4% more. Meanwhile, homes that need work, like fixer-uppers, are selling for -14% less.

Here are the key trends you need to know:

Top Features Buyers Love: Dock, outdoor kitchen, outdoor shower, and cottage style.
Inside the Home: Quartzite countertops and custom features are hot!
What Buyers Are Avoiding: Fixer-uppers are losing their appeal in today’s market.

Whether you’re buying or selling, knowing these trends can help you make the best decisions. 🏠

Is Your Age Holding You Back from Buying a Home?

It’s a combination of affordability issues, delayed life events, and shifting economic factors.

🔄 Repeat Buyers Are Aging Too!
