A recent analysis from Realtor.com®, as part of a report by News Corporation, has shed light on how architectural styles can influence home prices, popularity, and geographical distribution in the United States. The report, which reviewed thousands of single-family listings from May 2025, highlights key trends in six major architectural categories. Colonial homes, which dominate the market, have shown significant value appreciation, especially in the South and Northeast. In contrast, Mediterranean homes, although the most expensive, have seen no price growth, likely due to buyers opting for more affordable options. Ranch-style homes, noted for their affordability, remain a classic choice, particularly in regions like Atlanta and Cape Coral. The report also notes that Craftsman, Ranch, and Modern styles have experienced substantial appreciation over the last six years, reflecting strong buyer demand. Moreover, the analysis emphasizes the influence of geography, with English-inspired architecture being most prevalent in the Northeast and select cities across the country. This comprehensive look at architecture and market trends provides valuable insights for consumers navigating the real estate landscape.
