what's in what's not

The Real Estate Magazine this month had an article on what is in and what is not as far as homes goes.

It's obvious that everyone loves a granite kitchen but is that in? It is if that's what you can afford - now to be honest any kitchen is in - most women at the end of the day prefer to be able to design their own kitchen. I've always said that women want a "virgin" kitchen. That means no other person has cooked in it and you have not inherited any other persons grease. Am I right?

The obvious trend at the moment is to extend the out doors that you might have and create your own little oasis. Costco has some great furniture at the moment that allows you to make your outdoor area into your new extended living area. It is worth the investment and can enhance your own yard at this very time with summer approaching.

Color is also something that seems to affect the market. For sometime it's been that dirty brown and dirty blue that has been the trend but that is slowly changing and we are seeing a return to oranges and also turquoise.

Mind you I'm always of the belief that there is buyer for every home - it's just all about price.
