The custom home real estate market in Houston is extremley comptetitive.  Home Builders are constantly trying to imagine what their client would want in their homes before even meeting them. The one new feature they claim a home buyer can't do without is a space dedicated to their favorite wines. Whether it be a 500 sq. ft. room or something as simple as a wine refrigerator, home buyers are requesting them in their plans. Wine room designers are booked months in advance and not complaining. When a home buyer is deciding between a home with or without the feature it could be the deciding factor that sets one home apart from the next. I believe that this trend will be around to stay.
