Home Building Trends to Watch Out For In 2024

As 2023 comes to a close, we are taking a peek at the year ahead. Specifically, at what home construction trends await us in 2024. From cutting-edge smart home features to the resurgence of elevated outdoor living, homeowners are exploring innovative ways to enhance their living space! 

Here are some of the top home construction trends we are looking forward to in 2024.

Smart Home Features

Over the past few years, smart home technology has seen a significant increase in popularity, and while that trend is set to continue, there is a shift coming our way. Beyond the conventional smart thermostats and lighting systems, homeowners are embracing sophisticated AI-powered assistants that learn and adapt to individual preferences.

Home technology that anticipates your needs by adjusting the ambiance based on your mood and seamlessly managing energy consumption is just the beginning. Additional smart home technology is sure to roll out in the coming months.

Remodeling vs. New Builds

The dilemma of remodeling your current home versus building from the ground up is starting to take a sustainable turn. Homeowners are leaning toward remodeling their current homes, focusing on projects that prioritize eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient upgrades. 

On top of their efforts to optimize their homes sustainably, homeowners stand to save money in doing so thanks to high mortgage rates and increasing costs.

Adding Accessory Dwelling Units

When it comes to home additions, there has been an increase in Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs. ADUs are fully self-contained homes with their own kitchen, bathroom(s), and sleeping area on the same lot as the main house. 

Guest houses, detached garage apartments, granny flats, tiny homes, and carriage houses are all considered ADUs! Whether it’s for aging parents, adult children, additional tenants, or guests, ADUs can be utilized in many different ways and provide versatile living solutions.

Elevated Outdoor Living

Outdoor spaces have always been extensions of our homes, but in 2024, this idea is evolving beyond traditional patios and garden areas. A focus in the new year will be on creating luxurious and elevated outdoor spaces. 

From high-tech outdoor kitchens and fire features to cozy lounge areas, homeowners are interested in transforming their yards into outdoor retreats where they can enjoy nature while having the comfort and convenience of indoor living.
