As we head into 2025, we are seeing some shifts and new trends emerge for new construction in York, PA.  At Burkentine Builders, we are always looking to stay ahead of what our buyers want in a home, offering well designed floorplans and the latest technology for your home.  If you’re looking to build in 2025, here are a few trends you may start to see.

Now Trending for New Construction in York, PA

  • Energy efficiency: While this isn’t new, expect to see an increased emphasis on energy efficient features in new construction in York, PA.  This includes things like solar panels, high performance windows, and efficient insulation.
  • Smart home technology: Integrated of smart devices, lighting, and appliances not only gives you more control over what is happening in your home (even if you’re not there) but can also help to optimize energy usage, improving the planet and your utility bills.
  • Smaller homes: Bigger isn’t always better.  Experts expect the average square footage of new homes to decrease, increasing affordability for buyers.  This may help first time buyers to purchase a home and also appeal to baby boomers looking to downsize.
  • Cozy floor plans: The trend is moving away from large, open-concept floor plans and towards more defined rooms and cozy spaces.
  • Multi-functional spaces:  Homeowners in 2025 are looking for homes that work for them.  This means multifunctional spaces like offices that can double as a guest room or workout area.
  • Warm colors: The popular gray and white color schemes we’ve been seeing the past few years are going to fade away as warm whites and earthy tones start being used more.
  • Natural materials: 2025 is the year of the return of wood.  Expect to see more natural wood finishes in things like cabinets and moulding.
