Home Design Trends 2021

The moment a prospective buyer steps into a home, they begin to imagine it as their own. So it’s no surprise that beautifully-designed and decorated houses sell faster. Whether you’re getting ready to prepare your home for the market, or just want to make it a place that you can enjoy while spending more time there, here are 5 design trends for 2021 from the National Association of Realtors.

A L A I D - BACK L I F E ST YL E As we move forward, combining classical and modern design elements will transform any space with a new and fresh look. If we are working and living at home, why not look for ways to make our home more meaningful? NATURAL E L EMENTS As consumers connect more with nature, we will continue to see greenery, macrame, and Scandinavian-style furnishings and decorative styles that bring softness into our living spaces.

MACCENT WAL L S Wood-paneled accent walls in the living or dining areas are making a comeback in chic and modern ways. Look for stripes, textures, wood finishes, subtle or bold paint colors, and even wallpaper that looks like works of art. F L EX S PACE S Families are rethinking the purpose of rooms and transforming them into multifunctional spaces. Flexible spaces are being given a true purpose as the trend of remote work continues in 2021.

DECORAT I VE L I GHT I NG

Unique and artful lighting is stealing the scene in living rooms, dining areas, and even in the bedroom. We will continue to see a mix of materials, finishes, and styles of lighting that are expanding our point of view.

MONTHLY SUPPLY An estimated time it would take to sell all current active listings based on the trailing 12-month sales rate. % LIST PRICE TO CLOSED PRICE Also known as the “Sale-to-List Ratio”. This is the ratio of the final sale price of a home to its list price or asking price. The ratio is an indication of whether homes are selling above, at or below list prices. Figuring out this ratio is a simple two-step process: Divide the selling price by the asking price. Multiply the result by 100 to make it a percentage.

Glossary

CLOSED SALES Figures for the current quarter are based on known closings recorded at the time the report is prepared. AVERAGE SALE PRICE The sum of all prices divided by the total number of properties.

MEDIAN PRICE The middle price of a given data set.

QUARTERS 1 Q January 1 – March 31 2Q April 1 – June 30 3Q July 1 – September 30 4Q October 1 – December 31

AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET Calculated by how many properties entered contract during the quarter in the given period.
