Some of those trends include the inte gration of smart technology throughout the home, low maintenance, natural light, great outdoor space and flexibility.
Anna Hunter, Design Manager for Southern Development Homes, says, “Buyers are selecting more varied color painted cabinets and moving away from the classic whites and greys. They are leaning toward more navy, robin’s egg blue, or hunter’s green cabinet colors.”
T his was her last sum mer to work from home before going back to the office after Labor Day. She wanted to make the most of it but with the kids home full-time and only part-time childcare, something had to give. How could she balance her time and attention between kids and work? The solution came through a window. A couple of windows, that is, both on an interior wall looking into the kids’ playroom.InthisCovid world, what buyers are looking for runs the gamut from energy efficiency to features that make work from home possible. And as millennials begin to flex their muscle in the homebuying market, they are having a large influence on what is trending.
Getting Smarter Hands-free faucets, once only in the realm of public restrooms, are trending at home, along with voice-activated technol ogy. Blame it on Covid-19 and the desire to eliminate high-contact surface points to reduce the spread of diseases or on the influence of tech-savvy millennials. Local semi-custom home construction company Craig Builders offers everything you could imagine in home automation, surround sound, cameras, integrated ap pliances, and other tech gizmos. However, according to Vice President of Sales, Ben Davis, “The trend has been toward fewer upgrades in this area in our new home construction. This is likely due to the notion that they can add just about anything wirelessly later, so buyers are electing to spend those dollars on something else. We know customers are adding these features, but due to wire less technology advancements, they are opting to do it on their own.
“One interesting trend lately has been customers not wanting all of their hard wired phone and cable lines. Comcast even has wireless boxes now that run off one main box, which gives the customer much greater flexibility in room furniture and TV placement in the future.”

Colorful and Clean White on white or grey with granite countertops is no longer the go-to de sign for the kitchen and bath. Buyers are embracing colors for walls, backsplashes, and cabinets, with greens and blues gain ing popularity.

“We’re also seeing a shift back toward the beauty of nature with some starting to venture more toward natural maple or cherry cabinets, paired with high con trasting blacks, whites, or greys to offset the bold variation seen in the wood grain of natural cabinets,” says Hunter. She expects this trend towards natural cabi nets to expand over the next several years, phasing out the white cabinets that have held court for the past decade or more. Today’s buyers want their kitchen and baths to look good and require minimal maintenance. Hence the trend toward larger format tiles to minimize grout
BY CARLA HUCKABEE
According to Realtor.com, “view” was the second most searched term earlier this year. The desire for a visual con nection to nature and bringing in more natural light is nearly universal.
As many office workers remain un tethered from their job location, Click says, “If the buyers are working remotely, many are choosing more rural areas. They are enjoying raising their own produce, fruit, and even a few chickens.”
And that possibility relies on fast, re liable internet service, a must for most buyers. Flexibility and Multifunction And of course, on the top of most buyers’ wish list is flexible space that can serve every need that arises. It can be multiple suites, multifunction rooms, or a multipurpose kitchen island that serves everyone, sometimes all at once. The kitchen island has long been the workhorse in the kitchen, and it is bear ing an even heavier load these past couple of years. Yes, it’s a meal prep area, storage cabinet for bulky appliances, dining table, and a place to entertain guests. But, if it’s large enough and configured ideally, it’s also a workstation and homework central.Multi-suite houses are becoming popular with more buyers and may in corporate primary and secondary suites under one roof or a completely separate living space with its own entry.
“I had a client selling her Fry Springs home, and the home needed everything. It was too much work to do. I advised her to price it right and sell it as is. But she went ahead and replaced all the windows so she could check off at least one item on a buyer’s wish list.”
Broker Cynthia Hash, with Find Homes Realty LLC, notes, “These types of versatile spaces make multi-generational living comfortable for everyone. And we are definitely seeing more generations choosing to live together.
“The newest trend I am seeing, to ac commodate work-from-home situations when there are kids at home, are interior windows. Buyers still want a mostly open floor plan, but they also need privacy and connection, sometimes at the same time. Windows on interior walls that open can let mom or dad have silence during a zoom meeting but still have an eye on the kids. There are all sorts of benefits. It can really make a difference on how natural light infiltrates the house, and it’s a great look.”
When sellers do have energy-efficient amenities, it attracts more buyers as the MLS can filter homes for sale based on energy efficiency, and the home can com mand a higher price. Telefus says, “I am listing a home with solar panels now. If it doesn’t appraise above the comps without panels, I’ll be able to justify a higher appraisal.”
According to Realtor.com, “view” was the second most searched term earlier this year. The desire for a visual connection to nature and bringing in more natural light is nearly universal.
ers dream of more and larger windows, larger patio doors, and moving glass panels. Formerly reserved for only highend luxury homes, standardization and technological advances make these fea tures more widely available. And outside, buyers want to have liv ing, dining, and cooking areas that are just as functional as their indoor spaces. They want to get as much mileage out of their grounds as they do from their home—from playing with the kids, en tertaining guests and gardening, to yoga and exercising. In addition to a pleasing view, buyers want outdoor privacy too. This puts Craig Builders’ “Breezeway” floor plans right in the sweet spot offer ing views and private courtyards. Sellers without a built-in courtyard may be able to attract buyers with creative landscap ing using screens, fences, or plantings to create intimate spaces outside. Energy and Sustainability Sustainable building practices have long been standard. And they’re improv ing year after REALTOR®year.Lori Click, with RE/MAX Realty Specialists in Charlottesville, says, “I feel buyers want homes that are movein ready, with updated systems, such as heating, cooling, and water heaters.” All the better if those updated systems are energyBuyersefficient.actually get excited about heat pumps, high-performance windows, solar panels, insulation, whole-house air exchangers, MERV filters, and 2 x 6 construction.Fornewhomes, buyers are looking for all the bells and whistles and some verification, like a HERS score, Net Zero, or NextGen energy efficiency label. Even existing homes can up their cachet and attract more buyers by rating their sustain ability features with Pearl Certification.
Inside Out and Outside In After experiencing Covid-induced cabin fever for a year or more, home buyers pine for more time outside. And when they can’t physically be outside, they want to bring the outside in through large high-performance windows and doors, even in the kitchen. With pantry walls, island bases, and lower cabinets that can store everything from the lemon zester to the Cuisinart Mixer, buyers would rather look out through a bank of windows while prep ping and cleaning than an upper deck of cabinets. What makes it work are pullouts to make pantry items easy to reach, ris ing shelves to lift heavy appliances to countertop height, and drawer dividers to organize plates and bowls.
Buy
Inessa Telefus, REALTOR® with Lor ing Woodriff Real Estate Associates, says “Even though windows are not as impact ful as roof and insulation, they are high up on buyers’ and sellers’ lists.
As gas stovetops become known less for their temperature control and more for the indoor air hazards they produce, buyers are beginning to shift towards induction stovetops and gas-free homes. Most buyers are still satisfied with the standard grass lawns surrounding a home, but that may soon change as pre cipitation patterns shift. “Even though gardening is more popular than ever,” says Telefus, “environmentally friendly landscapes don’t come up much with buyers. I think it’s more of a bonus for some people if they get it, but not yet an expectation. When I have a listing or come across one for a buyer, I do note how beneficial a water-efficient landscape can be for a homeowner.”
5 202230,24AUGUST WEEKLYESTATEREALTHE3134ISSUE WWW.C-VILLE.COM FEATURE and the care that it requires. So move over granite. Easy to clean and able to take on a wide variety of looks and feel, quartz is overtaking the old standby. And for good reason. While granite is a natural stone, quartz countertops are manufactured using 95 percent ground natural quartz and the rest polymer resins. The result is a product that looks like natural stone but allows home buyers to customize the design. Since it’s engineered, if a buyer uses regionally manufactured stone and a local fabricator, a quartz countertop can be more environmentally friendly thanButgranite.thereal clincher is that quartz is harder than granite and because it’s non porous, it’s easy to keep the countertops clean and relatively bacteria-free. Don’t call this generation of homebuy ers lazy, they’re just smart and have better things to do with their time than clean.
“For those buyers who love city life, walkability is a huge factor,” says Click. And a destination for those walks can make all the difference.

It doesn’t make a whit of difference what is on a buyer’s wish list if she can’t afford it. The price and mortgage rate increases and low inventory over the past year or two are forcing buyers to whittle down that wish list. Telefus says, “These days it feels like you’re lucky if you can get a house in a location you want. Buyers are lucky to get anything at all. “And with the financial pressure of higher mortgage rates, it’s more impor tant than ever to have an energy-efficient home. Sometimes paying more for those features makes the home more affordable in the long run.” Whether it’s an interior window, solar panels, or the ideal location in a walkable neighborhood, somewhere just the right house is waiting for a buyer to check her wish list and make it her own.
Carla Huckabee writes about high-performing real estate.
Paul McArtor, REALTOR® with Av enue Realty, LLC, says “One of the rea sons Cascadia is so popular besides its proximity to downtown Charlottesville, is the pool. It’s one of the few new neighbor hoods to have a community swimming pool, and it gets lots of use!” The mixed-use communities pop ping up throughout Albemarle and southern Greene Counties are testa ments to what buyers want. Gather ing centers, community gardens, green spaces, walking to shops and restau rants, recreation, and entertainment are all popular. There’s even an ice arena coming to Brookh ill.
But Can You Get It?
Amenities and Walks Buyers who are not choosing a rural lifestyle want more than a cul-de-sac in a typical suburban neighborhood. They expect amenities, lots and lots of amenities. These can be organic like the popular Rugby neighborhood in Charlot tesville with easy access to parks, dining, shopping, and recreation. Or planned neighborhoods like Old Trail in Crozet or Cascadia in Pantops.
