If you follow real estate news even minimally, you know that the market has seen a big shift in the past year. Between inflation and high interest rates, home sales have slowed, and markets have quickly changed from favoring sellers to buyers. 

If you’re considering putting your home on the market this year, you’ll likely need to make some updates to impress buyers and stand out above your competition. To increase appeal and get the best offers, check out these home design trends noted by The National Association of REALTORS as “trends to watch” for 2023.

Home Office 

Even if buyers have returned to the workplace, most of them will still look for a place to create a home office. If the kitchen table is still your family’s home office, I recommend adding a small desk somewhere in your home to lure buyers and help them see that your property offers flexible spaces to accommodate their needs.
