Beautiful new construction with a 3-car garage.

According to this article by author Tom Kelly, here are some of the hot items on the slate for 2007:

Savvy buyers: Taking advantage of the continued buyer’s market.
Better pricing: Sellers will realize that the asking price is your #1 selling advantage.
Upscale garages: A 3-car garage is the new black.
Caving: Personalized space for a single person.
Dual home offices: Maybe not this year, but we’re headed in that direction.

What’s on the way out? How about:

Selling a home “as is”. Lazy sellers won’t be maximizing anything.
Buyer incentives: Not sure I agree with Mr. Kelly on this one because certain creative incentives can close a deal fast.
Laminate floors: Again, there’s a time and place for laminates and they do hold up much better to traffic than hard wood.
