If you have purchased a property and are choosing to flip it, incorporating popular design trends is important. By making your property as appealing as possible to buyers you stand the best chance of getting your asking price as quickly as possible. This translates into more profits for you since you will not have to cover mortgage expenses for an extended period. This is something which many developers have found eats into their profit margin and is also something which cannot be fully anticipated.

Taking different approaches to New Builds and Property Renovations

It is important to take a different approach with a new build than you would with a remodel. If you are choosing to build a new structure on an undeveloped piece of land you should approach the project differently than you would with a home that you are renovating. This is because some of the key design trends will suit a new construction better than they would if you were renovating an existing property.

For example, with a new build you can use many of the new environmental technologies and products in order to create a property that is appealing to buyers. You may want to orient the home in a different way, build it using different base materials such as foundations and look at reclaimed or green materials in order to finish the interior.

With a renovation, it may not be possible to reorient a home in order to make the best use of sunlight or other passive methods of making a home more environmentally friendly. With a renovation project you will need to consider finishes and other materials as a way to make a home much greener and more appealing to buyers.

Interiors still sell Homes quickly

Many developers are noticing that the interior finishes are what sell homes. Buyers want to know that while they are choosing environmentally friendly products, they are also living in a space that feels comfortable and looks modern and on trend.

Natural finishes are among some of the most popular with buyers. Individuals who are buying a house are looking for products such as wood or stone flooring and natural wood cabinetry and trim. If carpeting is used you may find that buyers will want that carpeting to be made from recycled materials whenever possible.

Decorating materials are also important. In the past, buyers wanted a home that was painted before purchase so that it was move-in ready. Now, this is still a priority with buyers but the type of paint that is used is becoming more of interest to buyers. Instead of latex versus oil, buyers want to purchase homes that are decorated using low VOC paints and wood products which will not vent toxic fumes as they remain in the home.

It can be worthwhile to research the products that you are using in a renovation in order to tell which will be of most interest to buyers. Although some may be more expensive than traditional materials and may feel like they are cutting into your profits, when you see that they sell your home much more rapidly you may be pleased you opted to use them.
