When it comes to real estate, the architectural style of a home can significantly impact its market value. A recent analysis by American Home Shield examined over 280,000 home sales in the U.S. to determine which styles are the most valuable on average. The study found that Mediterranean-style homes top the list, boasting an average sale price of over $1.3 million. This is followed by other high-end designs like Shingle-style, Spanish-style, and Contemporary homes, all of which consistently demand higher prices in the housing market.
On the more affordable end of the spectrum, homes styled in the Ranch and Cottage traditions tend to fetch lower average prices, highlighting the wide variation in market value based on design. Factors like region, historical significance, and square footage contribute to these price gaps, but overall, the study reinforces that aesthetics and architectural trends play pivotal roles in real estate valuation.
