Physical attributes are the main factors considered when it comes to determining home value. Often times, the style of the home is not easy to identify, yet it’s believed to play a big role in how the home appreciates in value over the years.
According to Realtor.com, “Both the year-over-year, and four-year price changes, nationally, suggest that more versatile and modern home styles have appreciated, and continue to appreciate faster than some of the more intricate styles.“
While I haven’t verified the accuracy, the folks over at Best Life, put together a detailed compilation of what is believed to be the most popular style in each of the 50 U.S. States (shown below.)
