Its easy to see walking through home's certain trends popping back up. Some outdated ones you just shake your head at and some that are new and attractive. One specific trend we are seeing coming back is brick. Brick has been a staple for builders on exteriors of homes for years, but nowadays we are seeing  brick incorporated not only on the outside and on traditional fireplace features and mantles but flooring, back splashes and feature walls. Done right, we've seen some of our clients and customers use brick to enhance their home and use a modern touch with a old school flare.

With the first day of spring behind us already were starting to see an increase in real estate questions, showings and inquiry's. People have had enough with old man winter and want to get outside.
