For most people, a lot has changed in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic — many of us are redefining careers and work locations; changing relationships and locales; upgrading personal wellness habits and so much more.
At Sterling Ranch, we understand the many facets of homeownership and we’ve noticed a priority shift in what future residents want when purchasing new homes. We are fortunate (and grateful!) to support them as they navigate their home-buying journeys.
Here’s a list of current trends in homeownership. Go ahead and take a gander. Then, check out how Sterling Ranch is supporting the needs of our home buyers.
Five home-buying trends of 2020

1. Location, location, location
2. Brand-new homes

3. Spacious floorplans with ample storage
4. Fast Internet speeds and reliable technology
For safety reasons and for greater flexibility, more folks are working and learning from home on a permanent (or semi-permanent) basis. In addition to needing home office spaces and places for school work, remote workers and students heavily rely on fast Internet speeds and technology that seamlessly syncs all their devices, ensuring they never miss a Zoom meeting or a call due to dragging download speeds or online calendar mishaps.

5. Outdoor spaces to enjoy life!
People are drawn to nature these days. According to real estate agents, many people are craving a piece of the great outdoors right from their homes. Whether it is a front porch, a backyard haven, or close proximity to parks . . . access to nature is trending for many homeowners.
