Summary
The hottest home trends for 2026 are coming into focus, and they could have a major impact on resale value. This week on Real Estate Today, we break down what's driving tomorrow's design decisions and how homeowners can remodel with resale in mind. From trending colors and finishes to smart updates that appeal to buyers, real estate and design experts share practical advice to help homes stand out in a competitive market. We also explore insights from the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate 2026 Design Trends Moving Real Estate report, along with the "HGTV effect" and how buyer expectations shaped by television can clash with real-life home tours. Plus, in our Hot or Not segment, we examine black window frames and matte black hardware. Guests include Ginger Wilcox, president of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate; Emily Kantz, color marketing manager for Sherwin-Williams; and Jennifer Bien, director of interior design at DAHLIN Architecture.
