They inspire elegance and evoke a sense of durability and cleanliness not matched by carpet. They also maintain their value exceptionally well. Fortunately, there are also many innovative faux wood flooring options including wood-look tile, luxury vinyl, and engineered hardwood. These products look very similar to solid hardwood and are easy to maintain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open concept kitchens.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29589 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/pexels-photo-4800185-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"245\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kitchens have undergone quite a transformation in recent years. While the kitchen used to be a separate, utilitarian room for cooking, homeowners now prefer the kitchen to be open, inviting, and versatile. It is now the central hub of the modern home. An open kitchen floor plan extends into another communal space such as the dining room, living room, and\/or family room. As a result, one &#8220;Great Room&#8221; is created.\u00a0 Some ways the open kitchen concept is achieved include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A centralized island in place of wall-attached counters.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open shelving instead of traditional cabinets for storage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lighter paint colors that better reflect light, making the area feel the most spacious.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A breakfast bar as a partition in the place of a full-spanning wall.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home offices.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29591 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/pexels-photo-5882683-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"245\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A home office used to be a nice bonus feature in a property. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a designated area to work remotely is now an essential, sought-after element of a new abode. It is estimated that 22% of Americans will be working from home by the year 2025. Even if a potential new home does not have specific office space, it is worth considering other options such as renovating the garage, converting a large walk-in closet, or building a studio or ADU in the backyard.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functional exterior space.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-29592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/pexels-photo-238385-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"245\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another result of living during a pandemic is that homeowners are looking for new ways to utilize their space.\u00a0 A home\u2019s exterior becomes a necessary escape for fresh air and a change of scenery. Some ways a new home maximizes its exterior space include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Louvered pergolas that allow for all-season usage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decks and patios.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fire pits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outdoor kitchens.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bifold patio doors that &#8220;bring the outdoors in.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-29588 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/pexels-photo-6925203-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Desirable Features\" width=\"245\" height=\"244\" \/>Space for home projects.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world is caught up in a DIY craze. Mobile technology, 3D printing, and doorstep delivery make it possible for people to do anything from their homes.\u00a0 So, a new home should have enough space for people to be able to work on home projects. Large backyards for gardening, outdoor sheds for woodworking, rooms for digital editing or podcast projects, and a dedicated space for arts and crafts are a few worthwhile ideas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Community amenities.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-29593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/pexels-photo-1954524-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"245\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are considering buying a condominium, townhouse, or home in a private community, monthly Homeowner Association (HOA) fees will be charged. Search for your new home in a community that provides a wide array of amenities. Some highly-sought amenities include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full-service gyms with a blend of aerobic equipment, machines, and free weights.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well-maintained swimming pools.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recreational courts to play tennis, squash, and handball.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An enclosed dog park area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picnic and barbeque facilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29594 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/pexels-photo-8617993-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"245\" \/>Great area schools.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many times, the greatest allure of a new home is its location. Of course, nearby shopping and entertainment opportunities are important, especially when moving to a brand new area. However quality, high-ranking schools are a significant detail for families with, or planning on, children. With more people working from home, a long commute to school is more inconvenient than ever. As a result, a new home\u2019s proximity to good schools could be the deciding factor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, prioritize desirable features.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be difficult for homebuyers to find everything they want when purchasing a new home. It is easier to sacrifice in some areas when highly prioritized features are already in place. New homes with desirable features are more likely to command top dollar on the contemporary real estate market. Even so, weigh your options and go with the home that feels right.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0* \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">* \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">* \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">* \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brian Jeffries, Contributor<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29595 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Brian-Jeffries-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Brian Jeffries\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brian Jeffries is the Content Director for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/innovativebuildingmaterials.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Innovative Building Materials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> blog and a content writer for the building materials industry.
