We can’t look toward the future without reflecting on the past. So, as we usher in the new year, we’d like to share our top-selling floor plans of 2022 and why (we suspect) these thoughtfully designed homes were so popular among buyers.
Four out of our five best-selling plans last year were part of our sought-after Seasons™ Collection, which really comes as no surprise. This eye-catching home series is designed to maximize living space and prioritize features that today’s homebuyers are seeking, such as versatile flex rooms, private studies, elegant primary suites and ample outdoor space—all at an attractive price point! Rounding out the most popular plans of 2022 was the inspired Hemingway, which has ranked among our top two sellers for six years running!
Read on to learn what sets these coveted floor plans apart, and don’t forget to share all the details with your clients. Although we offer a wide variety of attractive floor plans at exceptional communities from coast to coast, we predict that many of these homes will make the list again in 2023! Please note that standard features and structural options may vary by region and community.
