I toured 50 homes in 2025. Here's what shocked me. First thing that blew my mind Every single house had smart home features built in
We're not talking basic stuff anymore. These weren't luxury homes either. Average price around 360k
But here's what really surprised me. Buyers aren't just asking for granite countertops anymore
They want dedicated office spaces, flexible layouts for hybrid work
and energy-efficient everything. I saw virtual reality tours becoming standard
AI helping match preferences, and sellers actually highlighting their home's carbon footprint
The craziest part? With inventory up for 24 straight months, buyers have choices again.
But prices are still climbing about 3% because everyone wants these tech-forward
sustainable homes. If you're house hunting in 2025, forget everything you knew about real estate. The game has completely changed
