1 / DARK PAINTED DOORS I’ve seen this done and it’s stunning! It adds warmth and character to the space and paired with beautiful hardware the doors become a statement piece in any room. 2 / BOLD-PATTERNED BACKSPLASHES While white and neutral cabinetry is still on trend, one of the best ways to make your kitchen and bathroom stand out is to incorporate a lively backsplash. 2020 is all about bold patterned tiles and colors. 3 / MIXED METALS This trend has been around for the last few years and I’m so happy it will continue. Designers are incorporating silver, gold, tin, and copper but suggest not mixing more than three metals in one space, or your decor could become too overwhelming for one room. Silver and brown metals will work well together, like iron and gold or bronze. n

wo trends are predicted to shape the U.S. housing market in 2020—Millennials are anticipated to be the single biggest driver and home buyers of all ages will trend toward areas with more affordable lifestyles according to an economic forecast published by Realtor.com. Millennials are defined as the group of individuals born between 1981 and 1997 and 4.8 million of them are turning 30 in 2020, a time when many people purchase their first home. According to the report, they are expected to take on more than half of all new mortgages next year, outnumbering Generation X and Baby Boomers combined. The challenge will be a lack of move-in-ready entry FOR SELLERS: level homes. While the show “Fixer Upper” is a cultural phenomenon, Thoughtful pricing actually fixing up a home is not. Most buyers have no desire to make improvements on their own. We have seen the local impact-homes and proper preparation needing major investments in key areas such as kitchens and baths have before hitting the market declined in value the last 12-18 months. will be critical. The second trend, a move to affordability, is being fueled by the twin forces of Baby Boomers retiring and seeking sunnier weather, lower taxes and lower cost of living, and Millennials searching for family-friendly lifestyles and affordable housing. Home buyers are increasingly looking not only at suburban environments near large metropolitan areas, but also considering options across state lines. n
