Kitchen islands and energy efficiency are definitely two of our "top requests" for new homes.  Main floor master suites are a close third. 

Stone and brick are wonderful exterior materials, and even with a relatively modest budget, just a bit of an accent in one or the other can make a big difference in the exterior look and feel of the home.

Thanks for sharing!

Transportation also seem to be the latest request. . .they are not moving away from work taking  a chance that gasoline prices could go to $5 per gallon

Most people are down sizing on their wish list and are getting back to basics in a home with a smaller mortgage.
