So many exciting trends are happening in real estate! Here are just a few to think about when you\u2019re in the market for a new home.<\/p>\n

Homes with smaller footprints<\/h2>\n

The tiny house movement takes this trend to an extreme, but even more traditional homebuyers are considering floor plans with a smaller footprint. This may be for a lifestyle decision or just to keep the price point down. Our answer to this need is the Seasons\u2122 Collection<\/a>, designed to put the dream of homeownership within reach of a wider range of buyers without sacrificing on style. Homes in this collection start at around 1,400 square feet and include features such as 9-foot main-floor ceilings and open layouts.<\/p>\n

Wood-look flooring<\/h2>\n

From laminate to vinyl to wood-look tile, there are many versatile options available in a wide range of finishes and plank widths.

For buyers who like their weekends renovation free, new homes are the way to go!<\/p>\n
