Home design is evolving, and today’s buyers are looking for more than just beautiful finishes. This week on Real Estate Today, we explore the latest home design trends inside and out, from the features and layouts buyers want most to the curb appeal projects homeowners are tackling this summer. We also examine whether the open floor plan is losing popularity and what today’s design preferences could mean for buyers and sellers.

Discover the home upgrades making the biggest impact, insights from Thumbtack’s 2026 Curb Appeal Report, and the outdoor projects helping homeowners create a lasting first impression.

Guests include Christian Perry, homebuilder and REALTOR® with Sotheby’s International Realty, and Kendra Sinclair, home trends expert at Thumbtack.
